Topic: Borske Sklo knobbly ball, or not?

[Bonsaismurf]

Hello again!

Here's a piece that I suspect is a Borske Sklo ball vase,but I'm not sure since it seems that some have a hint of a raised rim (such as mine) while others seem polished flat at the top. Also, mine has a patterned puntil while others don't?

Doesn't look like Borske Sklo to me. I would have said perhaps Italian

Does not look Czech/Czechoslovkian for me.

Thank you both for your time! What is it that differs between this vase and a Borske?

Jindrich - sorry to be thick  -  but are you making a distinction between Czech and Czechoslovakian??   Paul S.

Possibly Jindrich means it may not be too old, so not Czech Republic, post 1993
Just guessing

Hi Paul,
Andy is true.

Glass made in my country
 - berfore 1918 - Bohemian
-  1918 - 1992 - Czechoslovakian
- after 1992 Czech

Even in Czechoslovakia (country of Czech and Slovak nation) was dominant glass producer Czech part of country it would not be fair to speak about country of origin as Czech. In Slovakia worked several excellent glassworks and Slovak designers did participate also on designs.

Hi Emil,

Just found this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280420556210

It has the same base as yours and also has a label.

Thanks Della!

However, the base on my vase isn't really the same if you take a closer look.

Best regards
Emil
