I remember the first time I saw them, I couldn't understand it....Why would vases be placed so high up in a glass gallery? Novicheck Galerie in Vienna, early 90's... just a backpacker asking why these vases were so special. Apparently these pieces are not even considered Loetz because they have such a special process, special production numbers and designs- it's true! they have shapes I have never seen with other decors on them. I was told the actual bubbles contain mercury (pretty dangerous stuff even for glass blowers of that time). The price? he didn't even want me to know...
Loetz Art GlassLoetz was the premier Bohemian art glass manufacturer during the Art Nouvea…
Spectacular colours and forms!
Thank you jericho!! Enjoyed looking at all of your posts, past and present!
Too die for!
I Neuwirth's loetz Austraia 1905- 18 there are examples with close ups of the bubbles and it does look like there are inclusions within them.
