id request please for pale straw vase.
« on: May 09, 2010, 06:16:18 PM »
I'm sure a lot of people will rush to kindly tell me the maker  -  which may well be Scandi (Aseda perhaps) or Czechoslovakian  -  but not Murano which the woman at the boot sale sold it to me as - (she also sold me a wfrs. 'tricorn' in red, which she claimed was Murano  -  getting nearly as bad as "everything is wfrs.") :)  240mm tall, and dates I'm thinking to the 60's - in a nice pale straw (?) with flat base showing a lot of wear scratches.   Good thickness of glass, and fairly heavy, and only a couple of quid, so no disaster if turns out to be ultra-common.     Grateful if anyone does recognize the design, and thanks for looking.    Paul S.

The colour is citrine and the maker most likely ZBS of Czechoslovakia.

many thanks for your quick reply Ivo  -  I am glad it appears to be Czech., and will pursue your line of attribution.   I did have it in mind to say 'citrine' but wasn't sure.  thanks.
