Hi Geraint,
Nice selection, I think the first piece you have down as Moser is actually a more modern piece by Chribska. Does it have an internal bridge between the colours ? From memory it's shown in one of the more modern Chribska catalogues and is also on the GMB somewhere too.

Can't find the catalogue right now, but Wayne has a couple of other examples from this range, circa 1999 on his site...

Hi Geraint,

There's some interesting reading contained in the below thread regarding these vases. As quite often is the case, its not straight forward in that it appears both Karlovarske Sklo and latterly Chribska produced very similar designs. From reading, the answer may lie in finding a shape match in either one of the catalogues.

Hi Greg.
I did read that thread (and others).  The key part is that Lipa's design has a glass bridge inside the pieces to produce the circular optical effect. This, to my mind, is the most important distinguishing feature (and not found in the Chribska pieces) and why I'm pretty certain that my vase is one of the Lipa designs for Karlovarske Sklo.
Cheers Geraint.

Interesting, I noticed Wayne's Chribska small example also has the bridge if you look at the other photos.
