Title: Large Cut Neodymium Crystal Cylinder Vase???
Post by: LEGSY on January 11, 2022, 04:16:06 PM

This is by far the biggest bit of this color changing glass i have ever owned it stands 12.5" and has 8 chamfered edges
which run from near the base to the rim must have taken a lot of work to cut ? The rim is cut with the inner and outer also
being edged off. The base has a tidy scar and quite some wear from movement i was thinking the shape reminded me of some
SKLO shapes would love to know any ideas on it  thanks

Sklo is Czech for glass and Sklo Union factory products were 90+% pressed glass...

Hi...bear with me :) if you do a google image search for “Hadeland Norway Art Glass Vase by Maud Gjeruldsen” you should see a vase that looks like it’s possibly the same manufacturer as your vase with similar colour and cutting but a different cylindrical shape. For some reason the text link accompanying the image goes to the Hadeland vase on Etsy and doesn’t relate to the image. There is a label visible on the vase in the image, it’s not very clear but think it is Zelezny Brod Sklo.

I found the vase in the image search above but with the correct associated description. Cutting looks more complex but in a similar style:

And here is another similar one on eBay. According to that, their one is 1940s by Miroslav Klinger cutting by Jirina Pastrnkova.

Thank you Ekimp it will certainly give me a firm starting point to make a good
start with this lump of glass it weighs a ton over 2 kg i have a suspicion it may well
have started out at ZBS factory but i guess you never know until you find the evidence
for that thank so much Dan
