A few weeks ago, I won what I believe is a tiny Vizner 20053 winged vase, Hermanova Hut 1962... the measurements and dimensions are a perfect match for the pattern:
Weight: 313g
Height: 8,5cm
Width: 9,5cm
You can imagine my confusion when I got it today and found a 'Made in Poland 24% Leaded Crystal Hand Cut' label on it. Made in Poland? Crystal? Hand cut? Something's wrong...
It turns out someone very 'cleverly' stuck a label over a closed, but slightly bulbous air bubble and a scratch... :ac1:

Oh Anik, that was a rotten thing for them to do.....one of the reasons I hate labels....they get taken off pieces that are identifiable without a label and kept to put on something that needs a label to make it sell!! AAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHH!!!!
Hope you didn't have to pay too much for it....will you challenge the seller?

Anik, I am sure right vase, wrong label :usd:
Looks exactly like mine (https://picasaweb.google.com/107330317087089352634/CzechSU?authkey=Gv1sRgCIm0tNfk6uCW3wE#5632502270351596050) (which certainly is neither lead crystal nor hand-cut)
Nice vase, but soooo big in comparison to the similar Viznerova piece ;D
I had a label issue as well a short time ago: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,43100.0.html (http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,43100.0.html)

Michael, if you want it to be lead crystal and hand cut, I could give you a label for it. Or, I could give you the label and you could begin a lovely 'mislabeled' collection. ;D
I'm glad it really is what I thought it was. By the way, how tiny is the Viznerova piece in comparison to the 20053? This piece is small enough -- I can't imagine a vase being much smaller.
Rosie, thankfully I didn't pay a huge fortune. I won it for 5zl, so with postage I paid a total of 11zl. I suppose it's a fair enough price for the piece. I will still write to the seller though, and politely inform him of the damage which was hidden behind the label. Maybe he'll return a portion of my money.
Thank you for your comments!

That's just amazing... how small can a vase possibly get? Michael, thank you for giving me a visual. Greatly appreciated! :kissy:
