Topic: Help identifying year of bohemia crystal

[Rena]

I would like some help identifying what year these pieces would be from as I am trying to determine their value. The sticker on the bottom of one of the pieces says bohemia crystal made in czechoslovakia. Any information would be greatly appreciated.  The set has 4 champagne flutes, 2 decanters ( one might be a vase?) And 6 small glasses

I had a look in Marcus Newhall's Sklo Union book, which has several labels with dates in the back, but this exact label isn't shown. There is a similar label, in the same colours, black writing on gold background, and with the same logo, that reads "Bohemia Glass, made in Czechoslovakia", which is dated as 1970's - 1980's.

Hi - I'd imagine Wayne's suggestion of possible date range is about as accurate as you'll get and the use of the word Bohemia on the label is intended to increase the value, though I doubt it achieves much, and these are probably common enough items with limited commercial value.      Your 'vase' is probably a carafe intended for wine for one sitting or possibly for water  - the decanter obviously might hold booze on a more permanent basis.              These are plain items from a period when undecorated glassware was seen as fashionable  -  have a look at some of the Dartington pieces which have a similar appearance.      Wish you luck with selling, but don't expect too much.

Pre 1993 but probably not by much in my opinion

Curiously this exact label isn't shown in the book on labels on Pamela's website here https://www.glas-musterbuch.de/Bohemia-Crystal-1991.291.0.html
