Title: Is this Skrdlovice?
Post by: angel2 on July 16, 2012, 08:16:09 PM

Hi all!

Can anyone tell me whether this is a Skrdlovice bowl - perhaps Jan Beranek? Any help appreciated.

It's made of neodymium glass.

No, 100% not Skrdlovice.
I also have my doubts as to whether it's Czech.  Perhaps it would be a good idea to ask a moderator to move the thread to the general glass section where more people could have a look at it?

Anik  :)

P.S. May you add a picture of the base, please?

Looks related to this one of Dirk's:

Possibly Walther of Germany, but not yet confirmed?

Sorry, Walther could not be confirmed yet... But it´s surely a relative of the
pieces in the thread.

Angel2, are you sure it´s neodymium? Did you test it?
In this case the Walther theory would become less convincing. They produced
in this colour, but the examples I handled weren´t neodymium.

i have one in grey and it has not been identified. This one looks a bit too shrill to be neodymium - it might just be pink.

Hi! Thanks for all your interest and replies.

Anik - I've done a base shot if it helps.
Wayne - it looks very similar to the Walther but doubtful as definitely neodymium.
Dirk - it's certainly neodymium - it has a slight blue cast pink colour in daylight and is grey blue in electric light with no sign of pink.
Ivo - the shrill look of the pink is my poor photography, the ones below are a little better.

Interesting. My conclusion then would be that Walther did make neodymium.

Hi Dirk!

Thanks for that, I would have believed the same looking at your pics - the similarity is too close to be anything else. I'm going with probably Walther anyway
