Topic: Incredible Loetz (?) Vase

[Tipton444]

Hello all!

Am I correct in thinking this could be a Loetz vase?  I'm trying to find out more about it, and all I know is that it was in the family for a while.  Is the color considered "Blue Opal?"  There are no signatures.  Was this style copied a lot?  Thanks for the help!

I'm very sorry, I just realized I wasn't supposed to put an identification request in this section.  I'm not sure how to delete it if that is possible, can a mod move this thread?  Thanks, my apologies.

I'm not an expert but it appears to be the Argus pattern shown in this link, in the Loetz Visual Decor Index. There are also other vases in the Loetz section with a similar shape.

Thanks NevB, that definitely helps!  A great resource I wasn't aware of as well, appreciate it.  Anyone else agree that its Loetz?  I'm far from an expert, but love learning.

Hi and welcome, Tipton444. 
You can report yourself to a moderator to get the thread shifted if you like. There's a wee bit at the bottom right hand side of every post to click on.
Don't worry about it - they're all lovely and none of them bite. 
Your vase is gorgeous, but I don't know if it is Loetz. I wouldn't be surprised if it was, the quality looks good enough, but there are other fabulous makers.

It is spot on for Loetz, some more Argus examples here:

Even the wear looks right for a vase over 100 years old, very nice.

As the consensus seems to ne it's Loetz I'm happy to leave it in this section.

Very happily.

Thank you guys so much!  So happy to hear that...  Thanks for the Argus examples John!  Such a beautiful piece of glass, I wish I came across pieces like this more often!

Eric, your images have vanished from the original post, could you please add copies back into the board for future reference, otherwise this topic loses its value. Thanks!
