Topic: Modern overshot vase - Czech, Scandi...?

[dirk.]

An old technique on a modern - ca. 60´s / 70´s -  piece.
No pontil scar, ca. 11cm tall and 14cm wide.
Any ideas?

TIA

Wow, very very nice.

It could be older than that.

Thank you, John! When you say older - how much would you be thinking?
 
Someone kindly gave me the link to this auction:

Mmh, Chlum & Trebone wouldn´t seem such a bad idea IMHO.
Anyone know if they made overshot pieces also? The design in general does look a bit Gabrhel-like...

The shape of yours seems quite Deco to me Dirk - the indentations and that angular neck. My first thought was perhaps a high quality maker operating in the 1920s.

I would rather tend to agree with you, John.
There is something quite special about this, I can't put my finger on it, it reminds me of some of Maurice Marinot's work, in general appearance - I don't think it's likely to be his work.

Interesting you should say that Sue as I wondered about a Gallic influence too, the first book I looked in was one on Daum but no joy there.

The pics of the Chlum & Trebone piece and Dirk's are taken under very diffferent lighting conditions...
(Dirk's are vastly superior images), but this could be the answer?

Many thanks for your thoughts - much appreciated. 
It´s good to get a different view, neither of your suggestions had come to my mind.
Anyone´s got an idea how the technique ´overshot´ would translate into french?
And thanks for your compliment, Sue - the light table pays off, doesn´t it?

Very interesting piece,it's like something Timo Sarpaneva would design except more so,if you know what i mean.

As far as I know 'Cristal Granite' is how I've read it in French (iirc)
mmm, nope that brings up funerary urns 
I'll have another check
