Art Nouveau Gold & Green Glass Snake Vase by Johann Loetz Witwe

About the Item

The firm, JOHANN LOETZ WITWE, was a producer of decorative glass located in a Southern Bohemian town which is today known as Kláštersky Milyn in the Czech Republic. Under various ownership from 1858 until they ceased operation for good in 1947, their Art Nouveau glass produced between 1897-1904 is their most prized. Inspired by Tiffany Favrile glass, Loetz produced glass with a high level of metallic iridescence. Winning critical acclaim, the firm received the Grand Prix in 1900 at l’Exposition Universelle held in Paris. Key designers for Loetz during this era were Franz Hofstätter and Eduard Prochaska under the directorship of Maximillian von Spaun. While it is possible to find examples of Loetz glass signed and stamped, the majority dating from this period are unmarked.
