I am as "allergic' to green or gold Loetz as the 1% billionaire next door, but . . .
I have also learned that some of the best early Loetz pieces come in green, and when one shows up, it's time to hit the plastic.
As in this Creta Chiné pitcher with a remnant of gold gilding and a good-looking prunt, 10" tall, dating back to 1898 and documented in Ricke II. In other words, a 110 year old piece.
Believe me, I am certainly humbled by the very thought of my owning it!
Thanks, Deb, for providing the Ricke documentation.
