About the Item
Vintage Bohemian crystal vase from the Fipop series was crafted by Ludwig Moser & Sons Glassworks in Karlsbad, former Czechoslovakia, in 1920s. The vase features faceted cut sides in deep amber-hued topaz glass and a wide band of gold etched oroplastique decoration near the base. The glass glows green in UV light, indicating presence of uranium in the formulation.
The vase is in good vintage condition with age-appropriate signs of use on the bottom. It is not signed, as it was common for most Moser pieces of the time, but its design, decor, and craftsmanship are consistent with multiple examples of Fipop series on Moser website in historical section, as well as documented examples of Fipop series in both printed and veritable online sources.
In 1919, Moser entered a new, etched, gold-plated and partly polished with agate, decoration in Chamber of Commerce and trade in Cheb under the trade mark "Oroplastique”. Oroplastique decoration – a band on the edges of cups of drinking sets or wide friezes, or even individual motifs on vases and jars – become a typical feature of Moser glass. In parallel with the increasing popularity of oroplastique, richly colored glass was also employed in production, forming a contrasting background to the gilded decoration. The previous dark purple Ametyst was supplemented by dark green Smaragd, brownish-yellow Topas, yellowish-green, uranium colored Radion and blue Saphir. Around 1920 the influence of neoclassicism peaked in Moser’s production; under the artistic guidance of Leo Moser, the glassworks became part of the retrospective trend, particularly thanks to one of its specialties – colored cut glass with an oroplastique decoration. Its basic version, known under the brand name Fipop, was applied not only to numerous shapes of edged vases, jars and jardinières, but also to candlesticks, lamp stands, goblets, ashtrays or toiletry sets. Leo Moser himself was involved in a large part of these designs. Different designs and variations of oroplastique bands are documented in Moser archives and catalogues.

Carl Erickson Sommerso Vase, American Art Studio Glass 1940s-1950s
Located in Clifton Springs, NY
Sculptural Mid Century Modern teal and clear glass decorative vase was created by Carl Erickson for Erickson Glass Works. The vase has Erickson's typical heavy encased glass design, with the teal glass gather encased in clear glass in sommerso technique and the pronounced base done in clear glass with controlled bubbles. The pontil is ground.
The vase is in good vintage condition with some age-appropriate signs of wear on the bottom. It is unsigned, as vast majority of Ericson piece were, and is missing its sticker, but can be clearly identified by multiple printed and online catalogues and other resources.
Carl Erickson (1899-1966) worked at Pairpoint Manufacturing Company, joining his father as an apprentice and spending the next 20 years developing a high level of craftsmanship, including precision use of controlled bubbles, a technique often associated with Pairpoint, that was widely used by Erickson in his own glass designs. In the early 1930s he was employed by Libbey Glass and from 1937 - by the Blenko Glass Company. After leaving Blenko, Carl founded his own art glass studio in Bremen, Ohio in 1943. Erickson glass was hand blown, so no two pieces could be identical.
Erickson made reproductions for a number of museums, including the Smithsonian Institution of Washington, D.C., Old Sturbridge Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Corning Museum of Glass, and the Ohio State Historical Society Museum. Many of his glass creations have been selected for display at several distinguished museums, and in 1953 a traveling...

Bohemian Glass Vase Loetz circa 1901 Viennese Art Nouveau Yellow Gold Silver
By Loetz Glass
Located in Klosterneuburg, AT
Vase, Johann Loetz Witwe, unidentified decoration, ca. 1901, signed "Loetz Austria"
This elegantly curved vase with its luminous gold shimmering decoration gives it a fascinating appearance. The applied dots evoke images of water lilies, whose color spectrum ranges from silver-yellow to violet and blue depending on the incidence of light. The vertically drawn silver-blue threads emphasize the presence and size of the 31cm high body of the vase.
The iridescent decoration is accentuated particularly by the organically curved basic form with its triple folded and expressively curved mouth. It allows us to experience the beauty of the vase's silver-yellow interior even from a distance. This exquisite work of art glass is destined for a true Art Nouveau heart...
