Hi there. I am not sure about this. I just happen to find this today on a Rainy day here going around to some Antique Store here. It is about 2.75 inches tall, and about 5.75 inches wide, and quite heavy. It appears to have a polished base with quite a bit of wear/age to it. It is a mauvish/purplish color with some twisted swirls in it.
I bought it because I thought it (might) have that same kind of flow as my other post here: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,32442.0.html
Could it be the same maker as that one ??
If I am wrong, that is OK as I still consider myself a newbie after that *other* glass on drugs post. Did I spot this one right? Or in left field? Any other info always welcomed.

Thanks

With the other bowl you did fine as far as I could tell. You posted on GMB what I and some others thought was a very nice 1950's Skrdlovice bowl. I think you have done the same again although this looks very much like an ashtray by the same company.
It may be possible for some members given some time, to find the pattern numbers from documents and if Jindrich recognises it, I am sure he will comment! Another nice piece of 50's glassmaking from the Bohemian region, modern Czech Republic (at least I think so), a lovely item!

Thanks bOBA.... I will wait to see what Jindrich says.
I am glad I spotted it, as this is now only my second (?Czech?) piece. I will not say I am a good (or quick) *learner* ---- but rather This Board is the *Best Teacher* ;)
This newbie Glass pupil says Thank you. :thup:

Rose, I think it's a wonderful ashtray/bowl... The shape and color is fabulous :)
-
This piece is rather ZBS ( Železnobrodský sklo) than Skrdlovice but surely Czech.

Thanks Jindrich for the ID - but what/who is "ZBS ( Železnobrodský sklo)" as I only understand/speak English here :spls:. Also would you have a date/year made? Is Železnobrodský the marker ? Does he have a first name?
Is it a small dish, bowl, or ashtray ?
Thanks a Zillion for your addition info requested here. :-*
-
Železnobrodský sklo (ZBS for short) is the glass works name

Železnobrodský[/b][/u] sklo (ZBS for short) is the glass works name
michelle
thanks Michelle - What year might this be from, with the wear on the bottom? Would it have a (decent) value to it at all?
Kinda funny here, IF I am trying to say the name right -- My sons Name is Brody (similar as in Železnobrodský[/u]) so I guess I have to call my son Brod-ski now too.
Thanks in advance..

Rose,
just to confus you even more, ZBS also known as Zelezny Brod Glassworks.
Zelezny Brod is actually a town in the Czech republic
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%BDelezn%C3%BD_Brod
My guess would be c1970s for your piece, give or take a decade ;D
Cheers
Andy
(value, i dont think it will change your life very much)

Almost 5 years have passed since this was posted and a lot of information and new research has come our way in that time. This piece is, as Robert suggested in 2010, 1950s Skrdlovice (and not ZBS).
-
Thanks Anik, I am sure that is correct... knowledge has moved on.... probably 5349 Jaroslav Beranek isn't it?

Robert, matching what I know is a 1950s Skrdlovice piece to a pattern number / drawing in the pattern books is still a bit of an exercise for me -- but one day, I hope to be nearly as good as you are at it. :)
