Title: Rectangular Block vase
Post by: antiquerose123 on August 09, 2012, 03:57:27 AM
Hi there:

I am trying to work this one out to see if it might be Czech.  I think it is.....maybe 1970's?   

It is:
~ 4.25 inches high
~ 7 inches Long
~ a little over 3 inches wide
~ just clear glass
and it weighs about 2.15 pounds.

Found some similar but they were more upright vases.......is this Rare or not?

Am I right, or not?  Thanks  ;)




My guess is: Jiri Zejmon number/pattern # 13262 Rudolfova Hut.....but just what other attributions say, whether they are right or not  ( ?? ) so please advise.  I tried to work hard on this one. Thanks

Designed by Jiri Zejmon for Rudolfova, early 70s.  This brickwork pattern also appears as a tall vase (perhaps most commonly found), ashtray, candleholder... but it's not rare.

Thank you anik.

So my info I placed in the post was kinda right?  I just put it in White print at the bottom of my post in case it was wrong as I am never sure with Czech glass.  Great, I wanted confirmation.

Is the correct number (pattern) for it of # 13262 or not?.  Is the date 1973 correct?  Not sure but some other info I found on the net said the vase (the stand up version) is more common, while this is not as common. 

To me it is a vase, but on line I found it is called a "Jardiniere"......never heard that word.  What is that if it is not a vase......??

Might use it on my desk here to lay down my pens/pencils in it.  Think that will make a great way to re-purpose the item here in my home.  Pens fit in it perfect....LOL

A jardiniere is a french word for a pot that you can place plants in.

Normally within earth and often within another container so a living plant as opposed to dead flowers. Or that's the way I have always thought of them.

Just to avoid confusion, Keith's dish is by another Jiri...  Jiri Brabec for Rosice, 1968.
