Topic: Identifying white vase with red spot - ID = Jiri Suhajek for Crystalex

I need some help identifying this vase. I bought it from an elderly lady's estate auction. It just kept saying "buy me...buy me" . Does anyone know anything about this??

Hi:

Could be an interesting piece (or not),  so it would be worth taking a picture of the base as well as taking a photograph of the piece in natural light rather than with flash, which makes it difficult to see the details of the vase.

Dimensions are useful too.

OK I don't know to make a link so you can view the other pictures so I will add them one at a time....sorry

The vase measures approximately 7" high by 4.5" in diameter.

You can add up to four images to every post. Just hit the link "(more attachments)", which is just to the left of the Attach box, to bring up more boxes.

Thank you Cathy for the information.

Thanks for the much improved pictures. I now know what it reminded me of, Galaxy Red by Bertil Vallien for Kosta Boda. However, it's not quite the same and it's not signed. It looks like a well made piece and I still think I've seen it before, but I can't place it right now. I'd say Scandinavian, though.  I'll check a few books later on.
