This 'Early Loetz Intarsia' vase exhibits, as an additional decoration to the, twofold repeated, green branch with three leaves and a red apple, a densily woven surface made from thin clear glass threads. Whereas 'Loetz Chine' glass is made from thicker clear threads, wrapped horizontally arround a body of finely vertically grooved glass, giving rise to small rectangular molten areas, here the thin clear threads are diagonally crossing merged on the smooth vase body to form tiny diamond like shaped areas (the technique itself reminds onto Pele-Mele). This gives the vase an overall appearence as being covered with a fine gauze. The brass mount nicely repeats leaves and fruits, and the vase shows a plane polished pontil. As most PN's of 'Early Loetz' vases are lost, the PN of this vase remains unknown, too. It's shape reminds to PN=I/7618 (1898).
My vase stands H=30.5, without mount H=28.0 cm high, the diameter on top is Do=8.0, the maximum Dm=9.0 and at the bottom Du=11.0 cm. It weights 925 gr.
Another three 'Early Loetz Intarsia' vases are described in my CW posted stories/272773(2019), /322056 (2024) and /399567(2026)

Your last three articles are truly very interesting. I find the two Intasia pieces particularly fascinating; it is always amazing to see how innovatively the Lötz company worked. These Intasia pieces are so rare to find. Congratulations!
