"Kozoroh" Goat by Pavel Panek ( 1945-)

These were called table sculptures and in this first series, designed in 1971, there were three.....a goat, a ram and a resting fawn. The goat was pattern no. 13306 made at Rudolfova hut. It was exhibited at CLS, Gottwaldov, 1972, catalogue no. 253. This was an annual exhibition and getting your work shown there was much desired. I've only seen these in clear glass.

Pavel Pavek went on to design a second series, which was much more abstract. This was issued in 1978 and comprised only a goat and a lion as far as I know. I've only seen these in orange.

I've long wanted any one from either series, but my absolute favourite is "Lev" (Lion) from the second series.
