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 octagonal shape.
By the type of glass, we can relate this center with the Austrian manufacture 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 nineteenth century. The firm participated in the International Exhibition in Paris in 1889, where his pieces were unanimously acclaimed by critics.
