Topic: Welz tango ?

[glassobsessed]

The feet on mine were cut off at the rim unlike the feet on Ausf 218 which from memory are solid with a polished pontil mark. I did have an example a while back but can not find any photos now, I did not know it was Loetz when I sold it and if there is an image it will be in the wrong place... Can't remember which colour combo either, Greg may remember it.

This is not right for Loetz but does look like a relation to my bowls: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/superb-loetz-art-deco-tango-vase-271385158

I've only had the pink bowl with pulled amethyst rim i.e. no applied foot.  So I've no experience of whether those Loetz Aus.218 with applied feet are always with a solid base rather than cut I'm afraid.  Is it a known feature that they are always solid?  I'm only asking because the two you show are so similar to those on Craig's site.

Here you go John, cut foot on this 218. Hope this helps.

Thanks Greg. Got that wrong then!

However, I reckon there is more than one maker represented here: http://www.kralik-glass.com/loetzaus218array.html
Those with a double 'pad' only are shown on Loetz.com as 218.

The bowls did not have the feel of Loetz for me, both general quality and design were not quite there, usually expect a bit more of a flourish with Loetz.

Obviously a different dekor to yours but just thought I'd show another with an open foot and single knop from Loetz. 

I wouldn't completely dismiss Loetz for your plates. I'm sure I've seen Loetz tango plates somewhere but not sure where at the moment. Will have a search around.
That colour with the slight purple in the blue is particularly gorgeous.  S&W did it as well.
However before that, over a century before, it appeared as Bleu Lavande in early French opaline glass and also appeared in Bohemian glass which was almost opaque in the 1820s.   It's the epitomy of all the blues in my opinion
