Strange coincidence ....I just bought a copy of Josef Inwald 1940 catalogue and this vase is found on page 40 cat no. 11471

Hope this helps

Thanks simba, i'm thrilled about your id,thanks very much and just when i thought i was becoming  an expert in anonymus glass collecting!!.To my mind it's a very well made peice it feels the right weight and has a sort of churchy calmness about it,or maybe self contained is a better description,am i right in thinking i can call it a Josef Inwald bohemian pressed glass art deco vase..thanks again and what a bit of luck!..

That shiny base can be a good Inwald indicator but I wonder if the colour points to post-War production (Sklo Union) at Rudolfova hut

See here http://sklo-union-glass.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=76&virtuemart_category_id=37

and Czech rather than Bohemian

Thanks LS,it does have the shiny lilac brownish hints associated with rudofova hut,having trawled the into,i wonder if they carried on with a few deco designs?Could i ask would this colour nail it down to a certain designer(even if the shape may have been borrowed?)..

another photo to help with colour..

Doubt it and they certainly did carry on with old designs for a fair while

thanks again LS,i've found a vase on e-bay by Frantisek Vizner that's the same colour as near as dammit described as amethyst,but i guess i'll just have to descrbe it as Czech glass..

You have a maker, Inwald, just not when.
