  Much appreciated. A new [to me] online source to see the actual glass always of value. Seen some things I have not seen before. Although, some of their attributions or lack there of, could do with some updates.

Glass / Re: Molineaux Webb EAPG-style spiky lacy plate
« Last post by cagney on April 20, 2025, 02:09:13 AM »
  Still the best book on the on the subject is "American Glass Cup Plates" by Ruth Webb Lee and James H. Rose, 1948. Probably 300+photographs. Later editions also. I do not see your particular plate design there. Although, chapter XXV, European plates, does show one with the same spikey serrations  [edge design] in a different pattern. Some text provided herehttps://pressglas-korrespondenz.de/aktuelles/pdf/pk-2008-3w-lee-rose-teller-sandwich.pdf Scroll down to chapterXXV. Specifically no. 857.

One further example to add to this early studio thread, an early student piece by Pauline Solven, blown whilst under the tutelage of Sam Herman, signed Pauline Solven 1967 RCA.

Bohemia, Czechoslovakia, Czech Republic, Austria / Re: Moser Bowl identification

This link was posted here a while ago, it may be of interest. The design number appears to be quite early but I don't know if that's correct, designs were often made over a long period. There are a few designers mentioned who might be worth investigating.

Interesting thanks John.The age of it has me a bit confused , the wear could be from a hard working life,also the rim looks a bit of a retro design , but I really can’t pin down either .

Oh my, I've only just seen this. I'm so very sorry to hear this.   My condolences to his family.
Ivo was so generous with his knowledge and time and he will be terribly missed.  Very sad news.

It's a very attractive bowl and seems to be influenced by some 1920s/30s facet cut Czech glass in that colour.
Hard to get anything from the label but the words Misa Kulata translate from Czech as 'round bowl'
Then further down the word fialová translates as purple.
The design number 553 is on the box.
So no more info than that which Moser gave back to you.

It would have been interesting to know who the designer was and what year but it seems they can't give that information unfortunately.  Lustrousstone has given you a year relating to the bar code label being used, which is  helpful as it narrows the sale period down a bit.
