This entry i would like to feature a design by Jiri Brabec who designed for Rosice and the example shown is for 1990. Rather recent and they are in my humble opinion a stunning design as all the examples that i have found are fresh and crisp. My first find was a plate with an irregular border with a slight blue tinge with the next being the lovely green example shown which has a wide border.


I was rather unsure of what was made in this range but then to my delight i have found a striking blue and a rose pink example with regular borders.



The next example showed up an upturned border with a blue flash and smaller than the regular plates featured. Here it must be noted that these plates are rather thick and thus survived pretty well.
In the last week i walked into a buy with 8 "string" colorless glass plates which then told me that these were manufactured as tableware/dinner service which really surprised me as i had only found other exotic examples.

These are to be found on the CD by Marcus Newhall...Art Before Industry...
It is interesting to note that i have not found any of these on sites showing Sklo Union examples or on Ebay selling!
So the plates found are for various use and i must say that a table now set out(red underlay) with these plates are quite something else and rather a unique table setting.
Most think that colorless glass is boring but then again when one plays with colors the designs jump out and visually are very striking. The same could be said for the vases in colorless glass where i hade added a colouring to the water and this shows off very effectively....so all one has to do is play with the wonderful designs and hey ...Presto!!!...one has a new look.
I prefer the name rope for these....well imagine that a party is thrown....for grown ups..
and your table sets the tone for the naughty night with these "rope" plates.
Ok so I diverse but then again one can play with these wonderful designs as it becomes a conversational topic...instead of talking about the maid or the hairdresser!
