A continuation of the series.
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.

a really outstanding collection
Just when you think you've seen the best Loetz there is, more follows! Thanks for sharing these photos. Are all of these beautiful pieces out of storage now? I would want to look at them every day!
Absolutely love the fish vase, fantastic!
