I was wondering if anyone knew the origins to this monstrous glass vase - it weighs just about 2.6kg - it is 31cm tall and 20cm across the top. It is a beautiful mixture of textured and clear amber glass and all I can add is that it was made in Czechoslovakia as this is embossed on the inside of one of the feet
Thanks to anyone that can help.

Possibly Stölzle Hermanova # 18781 - see Newhall CD Hermanova before 1958 page 9 ?

Welcome to GMB, Mike55! :D

Thanks very much - I have decided to take responsibility myself rather than let others find things out for me - I shall try and look your suggestion up.

Mike, the Glass Message Board is always a good start for a newbie like you - that's why we are here and your queries are welcome!
When I said 'possibly' I'd invited others who have got the book 'Sklo Union - Art Before Industry' by M. Newhall to have a look for you and might confirm my attribution.
This book is available from Anne, member of GMB here (http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130762219032)
Not everyone can have every book and know every place to look from the beginning ;)

Hi Mike, most of the time the members on here get an ID straight away (they are that good)but occasionally you get a point in the right direction and get to find what your looking for. It has helped me no end. Finding and ID'ing a piece yourself is a great feeling. I have learnt a lot from this board. Welcome to the GMB.

Hey guys I probably didn't write that message very well - I usually let a friend sort out what my glass finds are but I meant I have joined to Glass Message Board myself to do things for myself for a change - I would love it if somebody has the book and can confirm Pamelas suggestion. I looked for the Newhall book on Amazon a couple of weeks ago and its been out of stock - I am not very online literate and didn't mean my messaage to sound like I didn't want any help - I joined Glass Messages puerely to do things for myself for once

Welcome to our team of identification trackers, then Mike55. ;D
We all learn from discussion.

The message was fine, no suggestion of not wanting help ;D Welcome to the best on the Net.

I have managed to buy the book Pamela suggested as it seems nobody has this to help with her suggestion

Hi Mike,
I agree with Pamela's attribution. The catalogue offers it in two sizes, yours being the larger one.
Marcus Newhall's book and the accompanying CD is a great resource to have, so your money surely isn't wasted.
Happy collecting. :)
