Morning Marcus,
thanks for this info. ive got a few of the bowls on page2, the best one ,enormous
in greens and lilacs, i gave to my
Sister as a present, and i dont think she appreciates it, i may ask for it back on my birthday ;)
I can understand your frustration at some of the stuff you see on ebay and on here!
After our conversations last night,Ive just ordered 'Czech Glass 1945-1980: Design in the Age of
Diversity' , Did i do good :) As an amateur, there is a tendency to find a piece of glass similar to
one you know, and think , similar style, colours ,method of manufacture etc, and put 2 and 2
together to make 5!
I hope the new book will help me in my quest, one more favour though before it arrives,
this pic..

are they Skrdlovice ??? photos not excellent i know, but the 2nd from the left was given to
me years ago, from a friend whos grandmother had died, so i know its got some age to it,
and over the years , from a process of elimination, id put it down to Skrdlovice, and have
since collected others. Am i barking up the wrong tree :-\
I hope i can return the favour and help you one day!
Regards
Andy

Excellent book, and around a third of all illustrations are production items.
Is the image the one with five pieces on it?
Without better lighting it is hard to tell.
If you get a chance to put up somewhat better images?
Don't forget that some of the designs trialled at Skrdlovice, ended up being produced elsewhere, such as Chribska, if demand could not be satisfied by Skrdlovice.
Regards,
Marcus

Hey Marcus - putting the catalogues up in the GlassGallery is a brilliant idea and much appreciated - cheers!
I shall ask my mother to do some translations - it's jolly handy having a clever Mum who speaks 6 languages ...
-
Thank you very much Marcus :-*
-
porque es esto en espanol??
...porque es un catálogo de exportación, parece.
-
Claro! Pero si queriamos exportar al reste del mundo...?

Hi Marcus,
well, ive had the camera out again ;)
of these 6 vases, i think :-\ the 4 on the left are Skrdlovice ???

The 2 on the right , im not sure of,
http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pos=-6217
And finally, the 6 again, with a couple of bowls in front, which i think :-\ are Skrdlovice ???
If you get a moment, your kind assistance would be very welcome :D (grovel grovel!)
Cheers Andy
ps. maybe the saying , 'a little knowledge is a dangerous thing!' applies to me ;)

(grovel grovel!)
I really am not that bad... :(
-
Andy, it's not often I say this (usually the reverse in fact! ;D) but could you upload larger pics to GlassGallery please? Yours are quite small and it's hard to see details. You can upload any image up to 1000 x 1000 pixels in size (200kb max filesize) and the Gallery will create an interim-size picture for the Gallery page but clicking the image there will open the larger version to allow a closer look. Many thanks. :)
-
Marcus - how do you SAY Skrdlovice??
-
check your stickies!

Sorry Ivo! Forgot about that thread. Thanks!
Wouldn't it be better at the top of Glass rather than the cafe though?
-
Lynne, my site GlasSpeak has a page full of how do you say that... ? glass names... as compiled by GMB users. 8) http://glasspeak.yobunny.org.uk/
-
Andy,
I have looked at your images.
As you say, these could be Skrdlovice, certainly the blue one, which may be from the mid-1950s and designed by Frantisek Zemek, who designed there from 1952-1957. For that period you would need to contact the factory, as Zemek's work is not that well recorded in Czech publications.
Regards,
Marcus

Thanks Anne! great stuff... (blowing kisses to self whilst saying eeeeeeee)
-
Marcus,
Thanks, i really appreciate your help, i will keep doing the research ;)
I can see the fascination with the Czech glass, and as you say in a time when
things must have been very very hard!, and it seems mostly in really small towns and
villages!
Anne, i will spend an hour working out the photo problem, im not sure why i cant
get them bigger, but i will work it out. Size isnt everything you know ;D
Cheers all,
Andy

Andy, if you can't figure out what the size problem is, send me a sample by email and I'll take a look (email address to the left of the post behind the little white envelope.)
(BTW it's not the size it's the quality of the detail! >:D)
-
Thank you for uploading these, Marcus! What is the effect on the shell-shaped ashtrays at the bottom of p. 4? Is that just colour, or are there metallic inclusions?
Cheers!
-
Sadly Cathy, I cannot help there with total confidence, but metallic inclusions for that period seem unlikely, and as far as I have information, the use of metallic inclusions may be later in the 1960s or early 1970s.
Regards,
Marcus

Interesting sale on ebay, with a picture from 1973 'Glasrevue' :hiclp:
