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.
