This is Chřibská, 372/1 - attributed to Josef Hospodka.

Hi, Jindrich,

Is the attribution merely that, an attribution, not a definitive ID?

Given that the following are definite IDs:

Starosta: "Bratislava 79", pattern number 380, "Moscow 80", 381." "Opava", 382, "Věra", 383, "Marie", 384, "Hana", 385, "Ilona", 387, "Dana", 388, "Květa", 389, "Eva", 390,  "Jana", 391,  "Zuzana", 392,  why is a Starosta attribution, not the more likely?

Does not this call into question a Hospodka attribution, based on pattern number 372? Clearly we are talking of designs from the  late 1970s and early 80s, at this point, where Hospodka was heavily involved with his pedagogic activities.....

Respectfully,

M

Hi Marcus,
you are true, all this free hand shaped glass pieces are usually not correctly attributed to Hospodka (and/or his followers - nonamed).

The catalogues that I have does not give any other name of designer what perhaps is correct. There is nothing very inventional or special in individual designs, it is quite difficult to distinguish patterns becouse differences are really very small. To speak about "design" in sense of this word we use to understand in such type of glass gives me no sense.

Moreover, we can find many other Chřibká pieces fabricated recently by Rubin Glass or Egermann s.r.o. - some very simmilar to old ones, some a bit different, it brings chaos into my system what I dislike. Chřibská, even should be described the best we can, is for the moment not subject of any deeper research for me. Perhaps later.

Jindrich
