Title: 1950's Pressed glass clear and blue. Czech or WaltherGlas ? Lens-vase-like(ish)
Post by: rberthon on February 23, 2024, 09:43:29 PM

Hi,

First post on the forum !
I bought this vase, heavy (2 kg, up to 24 cm height, 16 cm max diameter). Pressed glass for sure, probably 1950's. It looks a bit like the famous Rosice's lens vase but it is 2 colored : blue and clear. Inside there is a kind of 4-petal blue flower pattern and the rest is clear. The seller told me it is a Rudolf Hlousek vase from Zelezny but I find it unlikely. Rosice is also a possibility but I could not find this model in catalogues. I found the same vase on another online shop. They claimed it as a Walther-Glas. It is true that I saw online a few bowls (authentified by a WaltherGlas sticker) with the same blue-clear pattern. But couldn't find this vase model in the catalogues I could access to.
I really like the design of this vase and I would be happy to have a model name and designer name if possible. Many thanks in advance

Hi,

I looked again at the pictures online, and I realized that the seller describing this vase as a Walther-Glas actually has actually the original box with the name of the brand on the background  :-[ (feeling a bit ashamed). Still I can't find this model in the catalogues I had access to.
If someone could point me at a catalogue page, or provide me with the model name and production years, I thank you very much in advance
