Title: Confirmation please- Is this Chribska
Post by: Elmwood on September 03, 2009, 10:34:46 AM

Hi all,

Couldn't resist this huge chunk of glass.  Hopefully someone can confirm it is indeed CHRIBSKA pls.

Vendor was selling it as Scandinavian the first week, I made the mistake of saying it was Czech asked the price, decided not to bopther then walked away! Second week it was still unsold and the price had been inflated considerably.  Anyway got him down to a reasonable amount, and now is ours for keeps.

TIA- M & S

It's the right shape and the right colours, so I'd say yes it is Chribska, designed by Josef Hospodka.  (See pages 36 & 38 Hi Sklo Lo Sklo)

Max is true.
To be exact Chřibská - pattern 240/1/26, fabricated from 60ties up to the end of 90ties.

Hi,

Thankyou Marcus- a visual feast!!

Makes me wonder if The inspiration came from ocean sealife, so many reminded me of Mantras, Stringrays, Jellyfish...... and the colours so vibrant OR maybe I watched too many "Jacques Cousteau" programmes in the early 60's/70's.....

Will now be returning to my glass friend once again to acquire another piece which he was offering as Murano, and is in your gallery.  So results all round.

Thanks, M & S
