A friend of mine has asked me to share some of his collection of fine Loetz here on CW. He owns several hundred pieces of Loetz and most are in storage. I will be posting some of the better, more seldom seen pieces here over the next few days or weeks. Many of these have never been seen by the public outside of reference books. The photos in some cases were taken many years ago and the quality is often lacking. I tried to fix them a bit where I was able to. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did when I saw them for the first time.
I do not have the time to catalog and describe each one. I will leave that work for you in the comments...sort of a class on Loetz identification.
Loetz Art GlassLoetz was the premier Bohemian art glass manufacturer during the Art Nouvea…
The 1.st vase is Gre 422 PN=422 Hofstoetter 1900, the 2.nd is Campanula, and the last two are yet unknown Loetz Genres.
THAT'S IT........ MINE GO IN THE DUMPSTER !!!
Stunning!
I'm all about the first vase. I love the pond theme.
uh Loetz buddies.. don't put them in the dumpster send em my way. LOL.
Agree, GSO! The skill necessary to pull off the first vase is mind boggling.
The first Hofstoetter vase is amazing; definitely my favorite, but all of them are exquisite, wonderful!
WOW !!!
IDs: I agree with kairomalte on #1 & #2. I think #4 might be a variant of PG 1/158, but is probably "unknown" as stated. Again; these are amazing!
Awesome!
