Topic: Skrdlovice vase

I'm sure this is by one of the Skrdlovice designers, possibly Jan Beranek or one of the other Beraneks, or indeed someone else. It is 34cm. tall, weighs 1.75 kg and I think is from the 1950's/60's. The base has been ground flat but it's not very stable. I've looked through the linked website but can't find it.

I doubt Skrdlovice. Particularly with that matte base rather not Czech at all.

"Jan Beranek" is typical ebay keyword spamming, just to add a designer's name to anything thought to be Skrdlovice.

Thanks Michael, I'll have to do some more research. I think it is European although I could be wrong again.

Romanian perhaps

Christine, I saw a reference to Romanian vases somewhere and did a search and found some similar but nothing conclusive, I'll keep searching. The frosted base on mine is unusual but I'm thinking it just wasn't finished/polished properly.

It does bear a resemblance to the vases sold as the Karlovarske brand by Mstisov and later Moser, although most of theirs seem to be cased glass and I can't find anything with a two lobed rim.
