Phänomen Genre 7993 is a bit special in the world of Loetz art glass. To the best of my knowledge, it was only produced in a single ground color, rubina- ruby red. The surface is covered in a random pulled feather decoration. Of course the two Silberiris handles add a special touch to the already fantastic, double waisted form.
Originally designed in 1896 as form 6652, handles were added in 1900 changing the designation to Prod.# 323. The whimsical form reminds me of a glass soldier flexing its biceps. This one stands 7 1/4" tall.
Wild and wonderful!
