Title: Loetz..? Art Nouveau Iridescent glass vase with applied fan decoration
Post by: Greg. on March 21, 2012, 03:54:55 PM

Hi All,

Trying to find out a little more info on this iridescent Art Nouveau vase, which has 3 applied fans around the body of the vase.

Has a ground and polished pontil mark.

Measures approximately 6 inches tall to the highest point of the rim.

I came across the below link with a similar vase, which definitely looks to be related, which has been attributed to Loetz.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Thanks
Greg

I think Kralik did a similar applied decoration.  The pontil mark looks similar to a few Kralik pieces I have had.  Have you had a look on Kralik-glass.com?  I think I've seen similar there and you can also check out the Loetz pieces as well - masses of wonderful browsing on there :)

Hi M, many thanks. I think some of the site is under maintenance at present, however, it certainly does look very similar to Kralik Gold Claw, albeit in a different shape to the one shown.
