Bought here in Sydney, Australia. Loetz Zephir Chiné. Coral and shell cornucopia as if found on the sea floor. I've been told by Alfredo Villanueva that it is from the late nineteenth century. For me it represents Naturalism and the influence of Nature on the applied arts.

Actually, it is the height of the Art Nouveau concept of organic form, like Loetz or Kralik flower forms of the 1890's.
WOW!! SOOOO BEAUTIFUL.

Membranous-like, with an almost macabre beauty,.......I love it!
Many thanks Budek!
I've seen this quote: "Naturalism is the generic term for Art Nouveau, Organic Architecture and Expressionism". Perhaps you've picked up on the expressionist distortion of the concept of 'cornucopia' and placing it in those arms of coral; I agree it's beauty is macabre. The glass artists at Loetz and Kralik (as Alfredo says) were up there with the best.
MANY THANKS BEAUXPURDY!
Many thanks musikchoo, scandinavian_pieces & Slave-to-glass too!
STUNNING!!!.....:-)
Many thanks vintageloveantiques.com & inky in NZ too!

Beautiful..
Many thanks collectort!
Many thanks mikielikesigns2!
Many thanks greatsnowyowl!
Oh my god... Was this a thrift store find? Or did you pay retail? I really would like to learn about art glass, but it seems like theres soooo much to know... However, THIS would deffinitely be something I'd pick up at a thrift store, its pretty obviously something good
It was from the Collector's Fair here in Sydney the first Sunday of each month. I paid eighty for it.
I have to say it again vetraio5 ..this is gorgeous I love looking at it!.....:-)
I know my mother has some Loetz thats valuable, that favrile stuff with the sterling overlay, but is it all very valuable? Or only the early pieces like this?
I'd have a look at the auction sites. Quittenbaum, Christies, etc. as well as ebay for ideas about values ..... supply and demand are always the determining factors.
you left out the most important factor Vetraio, Condition.. Color also matters what is it, the three c's.. Condition, Color and something else. Maybe Condition again? LOL
True snowy! This one is damaged, but then I didn't care.
Perhaps the other C is "cross-over"?
CONDITION, COLOR, COST!
for 80 bucks who cares right? I'd have shelled out 80 for it without thinking. :)
Many thanls stillwater 'n mikielikesigns2 too!
Many thanks Vanessa!

Looks great, i have seen a cornucopia in a german museum (not Passau) that shows a very similar theme and technique. let me know if you need pic, best guess: Loetz Prochaska
Many thanks kralik1928!
By the way Kralik28 I'd love to see another. Could I get that reference?
