Thank you John.

It was bought this afternoon from a local antique centre to me and they did not have a clue that it was Loetz.

Knowledge can be a wonderful thing. I would have been buzzing after such a purchase, with my previous reply I thought about stating how green with envy etc, etc, but decided not too. Keeping that for this reply!

When I saw the price tag which was £28, I paid £25, and made a quick getaway.

I will try to add a picture of it under a UV light from the inside and the outside.

This came up for auction about 4 years ago, looks more like a bowl shape than a vase.
