Title: Informations needed
Post by: stulda on April 29, 2012, 09:38:35 PM

Hello everybody.

Does anyone know more informations about this vase? Could this piece be a Crystalex product designed by Jiri Suhajek? I could not find any relevant informations.
It measures 10 height and 16 cm diameter.

Any help would be appriciated.
Thank you

Petr

Perhaps posting it on the CZ glass site run by GMB member Jindrich may help see if it is a CZ piece or not? There is a section for unidentified pieces...

I flipped through my Suhajek references, but couldn't find anything close enough. It certainly looks like something that Suhajek could have designed, but it's hard to be certain. Other Czech designer have worked with this type of designs.

Could it be Polish?
The cut rim, the mottled pattern and the colours do remind me of pieces from Makora or Jozefina hut...

Thank you for your replies. I have been assured this vase was made by Jiri Suhajek. I have worked hard to dig more into it but really could not find any more informations.
I will try to ask Mr. Suhajek directly and see what the outcome will be.
Thank you all for your help anyway.

It's not one of the usual Crystalex pieces we see.  They have more going on than in this piece.  The surface treatment is different, for example. The Crystalex pieces have areas where the piece has almost been irridized.  I've not seen enough of Suhajek's other work so I can't say if this is or isn't by him. I'm quite sure it's not part of the common Crystalex series, though. Writing to him seems the best option.
