Loetz Glass

This is another Bootsale find from this morning (not mine unfortunatly) I thought it might be WMF giving it has adventurine in it. But I would like an expert appraisal if poss! Sorry the picture is another Phone shot,
The vase is about 6" tall with a polished pontil.
Thanks again,
Bryn

I may have an answer to my own question here. I found a vase in Mark Hill's publication Hi Sklo Lo Sklo(page 51 right) attributed to Frantisek Koudelka at the Prachen Glassworks in 1973 as part of a range entitled Flora. There is also a link to a Glassmessages topic entitled Czechoslovakian vase with label where another smaller vase in this range is shown. My friends vase looks brighter but it was photographed under a strong sun which tended to overexpose the subject. The colours seem very similar to me although the green has dominence here as opposed to blue on the GM and the shape may be another in the Flora range.What do you think? Thanks,
Bryn

This turned out to be a Loetz spatter glass vase with aventurine circa 1900 and is now winging it's way to the USA for far more than I could have ever wished for.

That's great Bryn, thanks for updating us

for reminds of some lötz vases but who did this one?

seems to be loetz....

designed by michael powolny
color saphir glatt
this vase by powolny has been exhibited first by loetz at the >deutsche werkbund ausstellung< exhibition in cologne, germany in 1914

produced in different versions afterwards

looks very Loetz

thanks cookiepops your damn right is loetz... if you did not mention it i wouldn't have come to think is loetz, notwithstanding i have seen a lot of loetz glass work and held some before, sometimes this information you acquire when you need it you can't just pin point it at the right point in time.

I don't do glass but found this in a charity yesterday. It does have age scratches / ware so not new.

Is it a fruit bowl ? Age? It's not marked just he ground pontil. 230mm x 80mm

Is it Loetz 'Papillon'

Another great resource

FYI from Loetz.com - Very helpful and kind people!


Thank you for contacting us. I agree with your assessment. This is a Loetz Crete Papillon bowl. The size of the spots and the iridescent interior indicate that is was most likely made after 1918. If you look closely (shining a LED light also helps) you may find an oval "Czech-Slovakia" acid mark on the pontil.

Yeah, and if only they bloody etch signed their work rather than using a paper sticker!
