Glass block with a human head.
« on: August 14, 2018, 07:55:33 PM »
Hello,does anybody know who made this?
It was sold to me as Kosta Boda,but I don't think it is!
The glass is a little bit yellow,frosted,the head is clear,made like the Maleras sculptures on the inside of the block,in the middle of the head a piece with colors and bubbles.
It is 14 cm high,length 12 until 14 cm,width 3,5 cm.
It weights 1,5 kilo.
Kind regards Lisa

It is definitely not Kosta Boda.  Something that good would be well marked.  The closest I have got is that it is very similar to what Professor Czerny produced.  However, his works are all "cameo" whereas ours are "intaglio".  Mine as you can see is blue in the centre and I have seen a red one for sale on Ebay in the past.

I have had mine for several years so they are not extremely recent.

Obviously the head is cast and the coloured portion is added subsequently.  I hope we eventually get an attribution as they are really nice items.
