Mstisov Czech Glass Candlestick 53105 - Frantisek Zemek

Description

A stunning large Czech amber + uranium green glass candlestick. Made by the Mstisov glassworks, and designed by Frantisek Zemek in the 1950's, pattern number 53105. This piece is shown in the 1958 Czech Glass Review, kindly provided online by Jindřich Pařík [link]. The small amounts of Uranium in the glass cause this vase to glow bright green in UV light, something I've never seen before with Mstisov glass.

Size

Measures approx 8 inches tall by 5.25 inches in diameter at widest point.

Condition

Excellent condition, no chips or cracks.
