How do I identify my Loetz vase?

How do I identify my Loetz vase?
To identify your Loetz vase, start with its markings. Loetz used dozens of markings over the years, and because the maker changed its hallmarks frequently, you can often use them to figure out approximately when your piece was made. Compare the marks on the bottom of your vase to images found on trusted online resources to begin this process. Color can also help make an identification, as Loetz offered different pieces in various hues at different times, something you can explore through trusted online resources. If you prefer not to research on your own or run into any issues, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can assist you. Shop a diverse assortment of Loetz glass vases on 1stDibs.
