Topic: (Possibly) Czech glass vase in lilac and green. ID = Skrdlovice

[chopin-liszt]

I found this a wee while ago, and thought it was lovely, but I'm clueless about what it is. I suspect Czech.
The base is polished completely flat and is a very neat looking, round-cornered, square shape. I suspect it is arrised too, but only very slightly.

There are four upright "dents" around the base going up into the body, the shape is very simple, but because of the positioning of the dents and the thickness of the glass and the use of the colours, it all works together to make it appear far more complex than it is - and a nightmare to photograph!

The colours are a greyish lilac encasing a pale grass green.
Any help appreciated.

Could well be from ZBS - Zelezny Brod Sklo.

That's what my guts said. ZBS. But they're about as clueless as I am.
Something about it just shrieks good quality. (but in a very tasteful manner )

Oooooo I've seen this vase before, but can't remember where.   It's lovely, but the colors don't strike me as being very ZBS-y.

I'm still not even completely sure about the colours - the top appears not to be the grey-lilac, but clear.
How the whole thing ends up looking a smoky grey is really odd.
Perhaps I should try taking some more pictures, see if different positions around the house or light angles help! I just "caught" it, sitting on top of the pc box, with a bit of paper behind. the colours show a bit better from this angle underneath, but the lilac looks too blue, it's more amethyst

Definately Skrdlovice!

I have a Zertova ashtray in this distinctive colourway, I love how the two coloured layers mix to a neutral grey...

Wonderful, Michael thank-you!
It's not in Jindrich's and BOBa's book, but it does match your colours - and yes, it's really weird how the colours work themselves into this neutral, smoky grey.
Again, the joy of what glass can do.

I am pretty sure it is a not often (seen) Spinar design 6309. I have one in a very strange colourway too, they were experimenting quite a lot with colours at this time!

This is getting quite exciting.
I do like it when I find something I do not recognise, but suspect there is real quality to it, and then to discover there really IS the quality I had suspected.
Having the designer name is just the icing on the cake.

There was another one on the board a while ago, very unusual colourway >> http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,54924.0.html

And there is one on ebay.de for ages, classic Skrdlovice colours >> http://www.ebay.de/itm/191233125861
