Topic: Skrdlovice Vase Pattern Number Help - 5995?

[Greg.]

Hi All,

Nice sculptural Skrdlovice vase which also glows nicely under UV.

Has a very faint yellow and silver paper label. Looking at Robert's and Jindrich's book I see this label was largely used between 1955-68.

Proving a little tricky to pin point a pattern number, scanning through the catalogue drawings. Pattern number 5995 in the 1959 cat looks closest thus far. Would some kind folk please confirm if this is indeed pattern 5995? 

Many thanks,
Greg

I'm sorry I can't help with your query, but I have to say that is one of the most stunning and beautiful pieces of Skrodlovice I've seen - and it glows too, you can't ask for more.
There's a bit of a Sam Herman-y shape to it overall,  I can see its appeal to you, Greg - and me!

Thanks Sue 

The vase has a lovely organic feel to it, the fact it glows was a nice unexpected bonus.

Definitely a correct attribution there Greg. A nice piece too, I have not seen many of those. Fifties Skrdlovice is a joy to collect, there are so many varied patterns and the factory family of Beraneks seemed to be enjoying the challenge of producing the handmade shapes and colours to a high standard of production, each piece feels like quality glass....

  I need one for myself.
I only just found myself the Hlava you showed Greg, that had me lusting for years.
Now you've gone and done it to me again. 
Dumped me in the purgatory of unrequited lust.

Sorry Sue

Grateful thanks for confirming the pattern Robert. Some of those pattern book drawings sure are tricky trying to decipher!
