This is a brilliant large bowl from the Sklo Union glassworks, Czechoslovakia, and dating from the 1960's.  This is an impressive and heavy piece of retro glass (the sides are over half an inch thick) and moulded all over with a modernist type repeating pattern of bumps/nipples, including the underside.  It has the typical Sklo Union glass footed 'birdbath' base - a brilliant piece of glass that displays beautifully!

Yet another amazing clear glass vase from Czechoslovakia, this time dating from the 1950s and by Slovenske Sklarny/Nemsova glassworks possibly designed by Karel Holosko, this vase was also in production at Rosice from 1965.  Extremely thick and heavy, moulded all over with a repeating geometric pattern and with an unusual shaped edge to the rim.  It's absolutely brilliant!
