I usually only report on my own collection. Since I unfortunately don't own any of the described items myself, I would still like to share my research on this topic with you. All images are therefore from other sources (primarily the internet). These three names refer to very prestigious Parisian confectioneries from the 19th century onward. These high-priced confectioners packaged their chocolates and truffles in elegant containers, such as those from the Lötz Witwe company. Since there are only a few known Lötz products with these specific designs, I assume they were seasonal items, perhaps produced at a particular time of year, or as a one-off. Otherwise, the products were packaged in various other containers made of cardboard, wood, or ceramic for presentation. Parisian fashion was very fast-paced and only affordable for the wealthy. It is known that several other French companies, such as Daum, also produced jugs and other containers for packaging chocolates. The designer of these containers was the painter Georges de Feure (1868-1943). Even today, there are manufacturers in France who package their champagne truffles extravagantly in champagne bottles; this is likely a typical French packaging style. Perhaps there was another connection, such as a collaboration between these confectioners and the Lötz company. This packaging then also served as advertising for Lötz. This was probably common practice at the time. I know that around 1900, Villeroy & Boch included small plates from their "Pommern" ("Blue Olga") tableware as advertising in oatmeal packages from a Danish company, in order to introduce this design to customers in Denmark, which was successful.
The fourth image shows a historical photograph of the "Marquis" confectionery shop (1906). Glass containers are displayed in the decorated shop window; some of the shapes could be attributed to the Lötz company.
Lötz mit den Bezeichnungen: Marquis, Gouache und Seugnot, um 1900.
Normalerweise berichte ich nur über meine eigene Sammlung. Da ich selbst von diesen beschriebenen Objekten leider keine besitze, möchte ich Ihnen aber trotzdem meine bisherigen Recherchen zu diesem Thema mitteilen. Alle Bilder stammen daher aus anderen Quellen (vorwiegend dem Internet).
Bei diesen drei genannten Namen handelt es sich um sehr noble Pariser Confiserien ab dem 19. Jahrhundert. Diese hochpreisigen Confiserien verpackten ihre Pralinen und Trüffel in edlen Gefäßen wie zum Beispiel von der Firma Lötz Witwe. Da es nur wenige bekannte Lötz-Erzeugnisse in bestimmten Dekoren mit diesen Bezeichnungen gibt, gehe ich von einem Saison-Artikel aus, zum Beispiel zu einer bestimmten Jahreszeit, oder als eine einmalige Aktion. Ansonsten wurden die Produkte in anderen verschiedenen Behältnisen aus Pappe, Holz oder Keramik zur Präsentation verpackt. Die Pariser Mode war sehr schnelllebig und nur für Wohlhabende erschwinglich. Es ist bekannt, daß auch einige andere französische Firmen, wie die Firma Daum, Krüge und andere Gefäße für Verpackungen von Pralinen hergestellt hatte. Der Entwerfer dieser Gefäße war der Maler Georges de Feure (1868-1943). Noch heute gibt es in Frankreich Hersteller, die ihre Champagner-Trüffel extravagant in einer Champagnerflasche verpacken, dies ist wohl eine typisch französische Eigenart der Verpackung.
Vielleicht gab es auch einen anderen Zusammenhang, wie einer Kooperation zwischen diesen Confiserien und der Firma Lötz. Diese Verpackung diente dadurch auch zur Werbung für die Firma Lötz. Das war zur damaligen Zeit wohl gängige Praxis. Ich weiß, daß die Firma Villeroy & Boch um 1900 kleine Teller von ihrem Geschirr "Pommern" ("Blaue Olga") als Werbung in Haferflockenverpackungen einer dänischen Firma beigefügt hatte, um dieses Dekor den Kunden in Dänemark bekannt zu machen, was auch erfolgreich war.
Auf der 4. Abbildung können Sie eine historische Aufnahme der Confiserie "Marquis" sehen (1906). In dem dekorierten Schaufenster stehen Gefäße aus Glas, einige Formen könnten der Firma Lötz zugeordnet werden.









Fascinating!
Very interesting research and thanks for sharing it here with us on CW. Just a question or two …. Am I correct in thinking that the Loetz items appear in the middle section of the window display in the photo and the Daum to the left ??? Which leads me to the right hand section …. any ideas about these items ??? Could the date of the post card be later than 1900 ???
I have also seen a creta Marie Kirschner 1090/6 with striped tadpoles that had Gouache on the base.
vetraio50, I estimate the postcard to be from 1910/15. The presumed Lötz articles are in the middle. I don't know what other vessels are shown. There are no Daum articles by Georges de Feure on the postcard. These can be found under "Georges de Feure glas" online and here: https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/276923-georges-de-feure-two-signed-late-daum-p?in=441-activity
Soo very beautiful window postcard! Thanks for the describing text! Fantastic to sell and show chocolate in this way with Loetz glass and perhaps others! Only French glass, I guess. I will look for "Georges de Feure glas".
(I am still looking for a shop in Paris selling Bohemian glass; Ca 1900 Parisiana / parisiana paris / "parisiana rue de Paradis"...or Passages De Princes. Something...Hope it´s ok I mention this but got happy to see this photo!)
I will absolute follow this post / Marie
Hi Beyermann, take a look here, maybe this will be helpful:

This is excellent research and a good example of how collectors can actively contribute to research on Lötz glass and beyond. Thank you for this!
Loetzforever, thank you, I found it !!!
" L. Boutigny company (Com. 89), Paris, Passage des Princes. "
You have helped me before, here at CW, and told me that Beyermann&Company has (Com. 209)... I now have a copy and there it shows both names!
Have you seen the label "Parisiana" I am searching info about?
And glasfreund...I really agree - excellent research!
As I learned from a collector friend, the postcard dates back to around 1906.
Hello Beyermann,
I found some information that might be related to Parisiana, but it didn't have anything to do with a glass shop.
One possibility would be the following address, although unfortunately the street name is incorrect. Perhaps you could show us this vase with the sticker.

Thanks again, Loetzforever! No find on wikipedia...and no finds elsewhere...only here by you! There are 6 pieces by Beyermann&Company, I know of, with this paper label. One is mine and it´s here at CW in an own post.
Brilliant research! And on a lighter note, how lovely would have been to receive any of these as a gift, first to enjoy the delicious confectionery treats, then to have a beautiful piece of art glass to treasure for a lifetime!
