Title: Can anyone help with information on these vases please?
Post by: kitsune42 on May 01, 2025, 08:02:23 AM

I only got these a few days ago and I'm still cleaning them up. I know very little about them, just that they are art deco style, probably from eastern Europe or Germany, and they are really heavy.
They stand about 27cm tall and 10.5cm across the base. They are moulded not cut and have no marks or numbers that I have found.
If anyone could tell me anything about them I'd appreciate it.
Thank you.

Hello, they are by the Czech company Libochovice, pattern 1517, shown in their pre 1958 catalogue as 260mm. tall. Images are available online.

Thank you so much. Where can I find the catalogue you mentioned? Is there an online archive somewhere I can go to in the future to save pestering people on here?

The catalogue comes on the CD which accompanies Marcus Newhall's "Sklo Union Art Before Industry" book, I don't think it's available elsewhere. I can't show the catalogue here due to copywrite rules. The book is often available on Ebay. Here are two links which are very useful as a start. People on here love to help and pass on their knowledge.
