Small Vase Loetz Argus Decoration circa 1902 Blue Bronze Austrian Jugendstil

About the Item

Small vase manufactured by Johann Loetz Witwe with Argus PG 2/351 decoration ca. 1902 Blue Bronze Yellow Austrian Jugendstil The “Argus” decoration is one of the most popular variants from the Phenomen Genres family and was created in 1902. With its silver oxide eyes and finely spun silver crumb threads, this decoration is one of the most technically sophisticated works that a glass artist was allowed to execute at Johann Loetz-Witwe. When developing this very appealing design, the Bohemian glass manufactory clearly took inspiration from the secessionist style, which represented the aesthetic avant-garde at the time, mainly in the group around Gustav Klimt. The shimmering silver particles seem to float on a moving water surface, with the bluish silver threads undulating like waves, giving the pattern a uniform dynamic. The spun decoration on the hazelnut-brown ground, which gradually runs down to a “Papillon”-like olive green, is particularly beautiful.

  • Petite Loetz Glass Vase circa 1901 Austrian Jugendstil Blue Green Purple
    By Loetz Glass
    Located in Klosterneuburg, AT
    Glass vase manufactured by Johann Loetz Witwe PG 1/158 decoration ca. 1901 Austrian Jugendstil This vase is an excellently preserved and exquisite specimen, which illustrates the high art of glassblowing from the manufacturer Loetz. The decoration from the Phenomen Genre family is characterized mainly by the contrasting and matte iridescence, which show new qualities in their color gradient with each incidence of light. The veined and irregularly warped bands with their slightly silvery shimmer are particularly striking. What is exciting is that especially the decoration “PG 1/158” – originally composed of two different decorations – unfolds completely new on each form and thus gives each shape of vase something unique. Through the use of the base in the color green in combination with the different curvatures and indents of this filigree vase...
