Description
Art Deco vase, possibly LOETZ; Czech Republic, ca. 1920. Blown glass. Wear due to use and the passage of time. Provenance: Spanish private collection, formed between 1970 and 1995. Measurements: 24 x 16 x 14 cm . Curious iridescent blown glass vase, with ovoid sides. Handles on both sides. Lower foot carved in an octagonal shape. From the type of glass, we can relate this centre to the Austrian manufacturer Loetz, founded in 1840 and a pioneer in the use of new techniques and materials, following the line of experimentation of the glass artists of the second half of the 19th century. The firm took part in the 1889 Paris International Exhibition, where its pieces were unanimously acclaimed by the critics.
