Loetz I believe - 7580 10" but is it Olympia? or Creta Glatt?
« on: January 27, 2012, 02:12:02 PM »
I think this is a large Loetz vase 7580 and I think the finish must be Olympia, however, it doesn't completely glow uranium green under UV light.  So is it a pale Creta Glatt finish?  Any help very much appreciated.
Mould blown, cut and polished rim. The iridescence is not shiny like it looks in the photos by the way, it is subtle quite flat - the camera has just made it look shiny.
Many thanks  :sun:

This has been confirmed as Loetz 7580 and yes to Olympia - however I am still trying to ascertain whether all Olympia is uranium glass.  It could be moved to the Czech section of the board when the mods have time  :sun: and many thanks.
