Title: control bubble vase - ID = Glass Atelier Morava, CZ
Post by: scavo on September 04, 2011, 02:16:39 PM: this looks to me to be newish - not very stylish, good but not great quality ...

controlled bubbles are well spaced and form geometric pattern.

Any ideas?

Post by: Max on September 04, 2011, 03:11:25 PM: It has a 'new' look to me too. Maybe Polish? Anyway, I think it's rather cool with the blue, bubble base. I wouldn't mind a set of them. :)

Edit: Just realised you're calling this a vase...what size is it? It looks like a drinking glass!

Post by: scavo on September 04, 2011, 07:57:49 PM: it's about 1 foot tall

yes, glasses would be cool - but as a vase ...

Ok, I think I have finally tracked this one down. found this on ebay today and the controlled bubble and blue base are pretty spot on similar: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BOXED-6-tall-CZECH-ART-GLASS-beer-lager-TANKARD-/260947755765?pt=UK_Art_Glass&hash=item3cc1b2c2f5

the label on the box says Glass Atelier Morava:

Is this a positive attribution?

Can we say this is IDed?

btw changing the title doesn't do much!

Post by: Anne on February 12, 2012, 05:01:30 PM: I'd agree with the Glass Atelier Morava attribution. Some of their stuff is really nice, even if they aren't very well known. My Bolena, bought at the now-closed Glass Forest Czech glass shop in Harrogate, is one of theirs.

that's an unusual piece of glass I must say - and I don't want to offend bute looks like he's wearing a Holmegaard fruitbowl on his head :usd:

Thanks for confirming the attribution. I like taking part even if the only pieces I can attribute are my own. Hopefully my waffle will one day help someone else :pb:
