Our interests range from Loetz & Bohemian glass from the Art Nouveau period to works from Studio artists such as Lotton, Satava, etc. In 2012 when Eddy Scheppers decided to sell the website he had created, Loetz.com, Tony Ellery and I purchased it to ensure that collectors from around the world would continue to have access to this amazing site. We are in the process of updating and adding new information about Loetz and hope to unveil the new Loetz.com site in 2013. We welcome any large size photos of Loetz examples that you would like to submit. My email address is: Deb@MoltenSplendor.com (Read more)

  1. I "heart" these vases! Lovely examples and so rare. I would love to own even just one of these! BTW, would you be willing to let us use photos of your vases on the new Loetz.com website? My contact i...
  2. PG 7734
  3. Dave is correct, this is PN II-2349 and an example of the Loetz decor, "Texas with Apples.
  4. A prize in anyone's collection. What a stunning work of art. Thanks for sharing.
  5. This is very interesting. I didn't realize that Fostoria produced a free blown line. Thanks for the pics and history of this unique art glass.
  6. Beautiful! I think the Loetz JIP's are so graceful. The cobalt color on yours is especially nice. Thanks for sharing.
  7. Lovely and rare, a great combination!
  8. I think most of us on CW probably spend the same amount of time or more searching for good buys as well as opportunities to add to our collections. It is usually only a matter of timing as to who wil...
  9. I think my Karma is to pay full price or more for every piece I acquire! Not sure why but it is certainly a journey.
  10. What a beauty! It's out of the park!
  11. Maybe it is the photo but it looks like there might be some blue veining in the marmorietes vase. If so it could be Harrach. The other vase is definitely Loetz but it is an unknown PG. There is no # a...
  12. Gorgeous!
  13. Oh, my! Gorgeous
  14. Beautiful, simply beautiful and so hard to find an example in this shape. Congratulations on a great acquisition and a good eye for good glass right from the start!
  15. Great detective work. Isn't it fun when you can solve 100 year old mysteries! The other thing I like is that we now have an example of Loetz "orange opal brown".
  16. Isn't it exciting when you can find YOUR shape in the book! So much fun and a great example of Gloria! You vase reminds me of an Angel! :)
  17. I agree! I have early examples from each of these artists and they are amazing works of art. Charles' work just keeps getting better. He will turn 78 this year and he still blows glass every day. If y...
  18. "They" say that three of anything makes a collection. One of my favorites as well. We have one example and enjoy it very much! I can see why you would want a "collection" of this decor.
  19. Well, when you only speak English it is hard to get 16 point cut star on the pontil from "“Im ausgeschliffenen Abriss sechzehnteiliger Stern in Kerbschliff”! LOL
  20. Nice vase and rare example. The "16 pt star" is mentioned in Band 1, pg 246 as a feature of this decor and the designer Prochaska.
  21. Definitely a vase. Go to: http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/11773187_small-loetz-phanomen-art-glass-vase-signed
  22. Wow! Very nice. Congratulations on such a rare find.
  23. Jeff, The PGM is a fantastic museum and in my book Herr Holtl is a hero who has dedicated his life and his resources as a conservator of Bohemian glass. As I mentioned to Frank this photo was taken w...
  24. Great story and good eye on this one! It's also a great piece of glass.
  25. Wow! What a great find! When you get new photos of it, I would love it if you would share them with me for the new Loetz.com site. This is a very rare decor and one that it is hard to find examples of...
  26. This is the same decor as the one posted by ks85 however it is a candia PG 829. The difference between PG 202 and PG 829 is that PG 202 exhibits two rows of "feathering" - one at the top pointing down...
  27. Definitely Loetz and it is either a light lemon or opal (I can't tell the base color from the photos) PG 829. PG 202 exhibits the feather decor on the top and the bottom. Also a vase. Nice find!
  28. Sorry to hear about your sinus surgery. I hear it is a very painful procedure. We r here for a golf vacation so I wasn't planning on buying any glass as golf seems to be as expensive as glass collecti...
  29. Nice addition to your collection, Frank. The spiraloptisch decor is one of our favorites. We are vacationing in Ft Myers and had hoped to get to the auction in time to examine the piece before biddin...
  30. I will enjoy seeing these postings. I think this artist is known for his taller "Zweiffle" tower vases, No?
  31. Very nice! I love this studio artist.
  32. This piece is spectacular! You are most fortunate to have this gem in your collection. Keep em coming. BTW, Bill is driving otherwise I would have had to pull over after seeing this one! LOL
  33. I think these are even rarer than the Loetz Gloria examples. I have one too and just love it. Congrats on a nice find.
  34. it is lovely!
  35. This vase is a beauty!! I have several Lundberg vases but not one like this. I saw a similar one at a high end, all glass auction several years back and I thought it was the prettiest piece in the au...
  36. He's a cute little feller! I want one! I keep looking for one of these to add to our collection but it seems the moment I get busy (cooking, Christmas shopping, wrapping, shipping, taxes, Birthdays, ...
  37. Yes, the brown background in the Zeus medallion on my Persica vase is a flat enamel of some sort whereas I think Steve's Columbia vase is a bronze colored glass with a bronze glatt finish.
  38. I missed your Gloria warning. Was it concerning the one that was recently on Ebay? I guess we aren't supposed to discuss this here but maybe you can email me about it. I didn't buy it but I was wonder...
  39. Beautiful! I marvel at the way Loetz was able to create this wonderful contrast between the colors of purple & peach. Nice size oo. Merry Christmas!
  40. Loetz Silberiris! I'm not sure about the color with all of the peach showing on the piece as well as the background. I would think that it is actually more of a golden color than the peach. Interestin...
  41. Lovely and very unusual to find a tulip flower. This is the first one I have seen of these. Very nice.
  42. Jerrod, Yes, definitely a crete (green) Rusticana. When I get a moment I will try and look up the shape for you as requested. Not all Loetz shapes can be found in the two Loetz books that provide thi...
  43. Jay, I 'm looking forward to seeing photos of your Rusticana vase posted here soon!
  44. I agree that Astglass looks like a crackled Rusticana. I think finding a blue one would be very exciting. I have only seen a photo of one of these. The 3 colors of Astglass are candia, orange and he...
  45. Lovely example of Ausf 81. The color is "golden green" and the shape is II-6473. The rim is fire polished so you would also expect a polished pontil but this was sometimes difficult especially with t...
  46. This vase is a nice addition to your collection. The decor has a lot of interesting things going on..the silver bands, brilliant color and the papillon spots. Very cool.
  47. Boy, I watch prices on Loetz too and I haven't noticed a deflation in price for any of the decors. This July a 7 1/2" orange Aeolus in a very plain shape sold for over $1000! I also noticed a nice Ru...
  48. This is a beautiful piece of art glass and a doubly great piece of Loetz. I wish I owned both the blue Mimosa that Frank has and this pink one! Thanks for sharing!
  49. Kyle, I think that is you! Anyway, I believe you are referring to the Figge Art Museum located in Davenport, Iowa. This museum carries the contemporary art glass that we offer in their museum store. ...
  50. I forgot to mention that I wouldn't sell my vase for what I paid for it!! :)
