Hello,
I bought this small blue hotworked vase, thinking it was Czech, but now I'm not so sure. I think the base is chamfered, albeit very lightly -- then again, it could only be my wishful 'seeing'. The vase is 16cm high and weighs 620g. It looks terribly familiar, though I don't recall where I've seen it.
Thank you for looking. All comments greatly appreciated. :)

Anik:
I'd have bought it, too, as it's an interesting piece. The colour immediately made me think of a piece I bought for the same reason as you bought this one. I still haven't found a maker. I'll be interested to see what others say about yours.

David, thank you for your comments... maybe someone will be kind enough to help both of us out. :)
To me, my little vase looks Czech and feels Czech -- just the lack of a more distinguishable chamfering to the base concerns me. Then again, the vase does have what appears to be a fault which happened during production... a small piece missing from the edge of the base. It isn't a chip as it's completely smooth and 'soft'. Perhaps more attention wasn't given to the vase because of the fault? One more thing which might be helpful (or not)... I purchased the vase from a seller in Slovakia.

A nice vase Anik. I cannot help much but I thought this vase was Czech when I saw it 18 months ago in a smoky dark colour and nearly bought it, but I have no evidence about the piece.... could be Czech, maybe unusual ZBS but as likely is Magnor or similar - I really do not know but a nice thing! The chamfer-bevelled edge to the base always suggests quality to me.

Oh Robert, say it ain't so... It has to be Czech. I'm a collector of Czech glass, not Norwegian. :spls:
But at least you said it was a nice thing. Joking aside, I greatly appreciate your input. Thank you!
