Title: Does anyone recognise this piece of Chribska - date / designer?
Post by: seanduxbury on March 01, 2016, 06:53:26 AM

Hi All.  Does anyone know anything about this piece of Chribska.  In particular date / designer?  Given to me as a birthday present recently so I can only say it was found in England.  It measures 13 cms tall 13 cms in diameter at the rim and 5 cms at the base and weighs a massive 1.6 kgs.  Gorgeous  cased cobalt blue.  Any information would be much appreciated.

I think it can be # 4 of this photo

Thanks. It looks very similar so I feel safe in saying that this is the same piece.  I think the numbers at the bottom relate to the pattern or design number and #4 looks as if it says 420/4/13.  I would guess that the final number 13 refers to the height, the middle number 4 is the number in the range (the others in the photo are numbered 420/1, 420/2 etc) so is it possible that the first three numbers (420) is the design number?  Just guessing though.
