Topic: Another mystery Czech vase

[Bertie]

Hi Again

No success with the last post as I yet but still time
I have added a bit more info which may help

Then I remembered I have this piece which is also yet to be identified
Again bought from Czech Republic it is a beautiful clear with a cased blue center with a ground lens giving optical effects, it also has cut edges
Originally described as 1960's Borska glass works

Any help gratefully recieved

Thanks

Hi. This looks like some of the work of Vladimir Jelinek for Moser. He used the lens motif in many of his pieces. Nice vase!

Hi
Thanks for the reply I would love it if it was and I could find proof
It is a nice piece
But as with a lot of Czech pieces its all in the provenance

not that I'd have known from experience, but according to Mark Hill's booklet apparently Josef Pravec - probably earlier than Jelinek - also designed pieces using cut lenses, which were made by Podebrady glassworks.
I probably shouldn't say this one is unlikely to be Borsk Sklo, since Czech material isn't my area remotely - though some of their work is decorated with cut lenses - oval and round.

Perhaps Anik might be able to help with this one.               Agree, nice piece.
