I recently managed to buy this vase from the production of the Loetz glassworks with a little-used Domino mark. PPN II-5800, year of manufacture 1908, dimensions 15.3 cm x 4.1 cm. Probably made for Bakalowits Söhne Wien (?). I do not yet know the meaning of the information on the paper label.
I’m curious about the paper label.....wondering if that symbol is for “dram” a unit of measure of volume....it could be indicating the capacity to hold the equivalent of 7 drams (about 25 ml)
Check the definition and conversion factor to milliliters....my memory sometimes fails me.
Price, but what currency ?
First I thought that No. 1/450 could be PPN. PPN 1/450 was used in 1901, but this paper pattern is missing. Execution and design correspond to the production from 1907-1908. It may not be a sticker used by Loetz, but a seller, for example, or an inventory number from an old collection. ???
The symbol is similar to the one used for the English Pound .... (Libra Pondo).
But that Domino I have never heard about before. Can you tell us more ???

Literature: Lötz Band 2: page 585, fig.16
This item was probably part of the "Domino - Tafeldekoration" (table decoration) - see PPN II-5777 - II-5783.
And a reference to Ausf. 123 on loetz.com (mainly photo from Museum Sumava):
