Dating to between 1900 and 1905, both the shape (PN 257) and decor (Astraa) are relatively early Loetz. This is a nice example, too, with excellent gold, silver, and blue iridescence over clear glass, with random large golden orange oil spots on the surface. Polished pontil and fire polished rim; stands 4" tall and about 6" wide.
