Marvelous Loetz Witwe Art Nouveau Peacock Feathered Iridescent glass claret jug Bohemian ~1900
Loetz Witwe Art Nouveau Iridescent Mother-of-Pearl Glass Vase
We present to your attention this rare Art Nouveau glass vase, made by the bohemian glass manufacture Loetz Witwe from Klostermühle around 1900. The glass is dim white-to-transparent iridized Mother-of-Pearl color, with polished pontil.
This Loetz glass is part of a private collection, gathered over 40 years. May it find a suitable and appreciative home. It was purchased from Vienna some five years ago by me and my wife (we owned an antique store at the time but focused more on collecting ourselves, rather than on trading). It is a very fine and delicate piece, subdue and smooth on first sight, faceted iridescence and with chameleon quality, when brought to light (yellow, cyan, and darker ocher tones appear). Would contribute to any serious art glass collection, as it would bring light and elegance of past times, to someone’s home. May this Loetz Gem find a new worthy owner.
A bit more about the origin of the glass:

Under Edward Spaun, Prochazka worked as director of the factory, and led to international success. 1902-15 many glasses were made from designs by famous artists.
