Recently we have all been celebrating a fellow collectors' find of a Loetz
rocket" shaped vase with pulled chain feet. Someone pointed at the similarity with Phan 1-344, vases in Candia silberiris with pulled chain decoration (Pic. 1; 12" and 11"). I have also seen the tall one in green with pulled chain decoration. In fact, if you look at the back of the picture, you will see part of one.
But there is also a variant, not in the Design book, for a series of vases in Candia Silberiris with green chain feet (pic. 2;10"). They are quite well represented in the Passau Museum, but no ID for the decor is given.
And finally, we come to Pic. n.3 (9"; 5"): another unidentified variant, this time in the Neptune family, frosted glass with APPLIED green chain feet. I have posted about these vases previously, but I think one can see the different between decor pulled from the mass, and applied decor.
By the way, they all have duly polished pontil marks.
Any comments?

I'm still waiting to find one of these, either the extruded feet or chain decor. I still have some "holes" in my collection.
