Heavy green vase - Sklo Union style base?

Post by fianelly on Sun Jan 23, 2011 12:18 am

Hi - I've a couple of vases to ask about... hopefully someone will be able to point me in the right direction!





It's about 19.5cm tall and heavy - about 1670gr.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Fi, yes it's a 1962 design by Frantisek Vizner for Rosice (Sklo Union) - the height given in Marcus' book is 20.5cm but these were hand-pressed so one would expect a slight variation between pieces.
