Title: Large sklo Czech vase?
Post by: palo400 on April 18, 2010, 07:05:05 AM

Hello
Large glass pressed vase 31cm high dia at the top 18cm. Heavy piece looks Sklo to me.
Any help
Thanks.

Sklo means glass in Czech, so yes it's sklo, what you really are asking is, is it made by one of the Sklo Union factories.

Thanks for the language lesson - excuse for me for using the word Sklo to discribe a Czech piece.

Sarcasm won't encourage many to assist you, certainly not me!

There was no offence meant. It's just that the use of 'sklo' to mean Sklo Union grates on our Czech and Czech-speaking contributors.  :)
