Topic: Newly acquired vase. Help identifying. Czech?

[george_slusar]

Hello,

I recently bought this vase in Prague and have been looking for information about the maker and the value. I did some looking around and Palda seems to be coming up. It is 10.5" tall. The sides taper up from 4.25" to 4.75"

Any information is greatly appreciated.

What a beautiful design, I'm quite jealous! (btw - it might help if you put Czech somewhere in the subject to attract the sort of knowledgeable forum members that really, really know their Czech glass)

Thank you for the kind reply. I will update the subject.

Have added Czech? to your subject line for you Todd as you won't have been able to. You can only edit your own posts for an hour after making them, after that you need to ask a Moderator to do it for you. Welcome to the board.

Thank you Anne. I am excited to learn more about this piece.

May we see an image of the underside?  Is there any age wear to the base?

Hello,

I hope this helps. I don't know anything about glass. There appear to be some light scratches on the bottom but that is all I can tell. Thank you,

Todd

Please have patience - I'm sure we'll get there in the end - it's a beautiful piece and very well-made. I can see the top rim is polished and bevelled - nobody is likely to go to the trouble of that standard of finish on something that isn't good. It's still a bit difficult to see how the base is finished, though. A photograph taken at an angle would help.  
Is it completely flat?
Is there a "well" of some sort in the middle?

We don't "do" valuations here - they're very subjective.
In the end, something is only ever worth what somebody is willing to pay for it.
(but I think a few folk might like to own this very much.)

I apologize if I seem overly anxious. I really love the piece and am excited to find out more about it. The value doesn't really matter to me since I love it enough to have brought it home from Prague. I will try to get some more pictures of it this evening. Off the top of my had the bottom is flat but will get that angle in a picture.

Thank you,

Todd
