Title: Czech Green Blue? Need Help ID
Post by: Andrew Andersen on March 02, 2024, 11:48:19 PM

Greetings,
I have a small piece I believe is Czech.  Can you help ID and do you know a glass maker?
Many thanks,
Andrew

Specs: 3.5" width x 3.25" height  weight 1 lb
Smooth Clear Polished base

My apologies- maybe I posted this in the wrong place? 

I wanted to add that the color and clarity are amazing.  Also it glows green under a black light.

Also I wanted to add that it looks similar to Skrdlovice pieces by Jan Beranek I have seen online- but that is as far as I got in my attempt.

I am going down the rabbit hole ... I see an Emanuel Beranek piece No 5659 , c. 1956, online - which is 100mm high (approximately 3.9" high) in a light pink...

It's a gorgeous design and colourway and your photographs are superb.
I've had a quick look through the resources I can think of and couldn't see anything similar. I'll have some more time at the weekend and will post if I spot anything.
Hopefully someone else might have a correct id more quickly for you.

Or possibly Jaroslav Beranek "Andromeda" pattern.

Don't think it would be Andromeda as the spiral effect seems broken rather than continuous, with such a small item there is little room to fit the pattern in. Maybe not Kotik's propeller either but Skrdlovice must be odds on favourite.

I agree it has several characteristics of Andromeda and Kotik's Propeller!!
Thank you @NevB and @glassobsessed

More hopeful now it being Skrdlovice - my first piece so very excited to find it!!
