Title: Czech/Bohemian Freeform Glass Vase w/ Label-Designer? ID = ZBS
Post by: dorian_graye on October 27, 2010, 09:38:18 PM

Hello all.  Does anyone recognize this style of vase?  Or label, perhaps?

Ok course. The label says it was made by ZBS before 1990 - as it says "Czechoslovakia".

ZBS - Železný Brod. Designer could be Miroslav Klinger but there are other possibilities.

The label says hand cut, is it actually?

Nice vase.

I had thought that it might be Zelezny Brod, but I couldn't make heads or tails of the label.  Who are some of the designers from this company besides Klinger?  I'm curious what some of their forms look like.  The base is cut and polished with a hole in the bottom where the bubble or hollow area is formed.  Thanks so much for your help!

I think this could be a Klinger design. But in case he's not, in the following thread below Jindrich named some other designers that have been working for ZBS. Most of them are not names you'll find a lot of information on, sadly.
