Topic: Exbor cockerel

[mattschlan]

I recently bought this small but beautiful glass cockerel that i believe is made by Exbor. The colours are very similar to the Exbor fish pictured on the front of the new Sklo book by Mark Hill, so am i correct in assuming that the cockerel is also a design by Honzik and Rozinek?
The piece is not marked and is 16cm tall.

Thanks
Matt

I am pretty certain this is Exbor.... here is a link from a seller who definitely knows his stuff.

Thanks Rosie,

Stanislav Klemes is a new name to me and a google search hasn't provided much information, although i did find a listing from an auction catalogue for an identical cockerel to mine with an Exbor label and attributed to Klemes
