About the Item
A beautiful early 20th-century art glass vase attributed to Loetz, the renowned Bohemian glass manufacturer celebrated for its innovative iridescent finishes and sophisticated Art Nouveau designs.
This piece displays several distinctive hallmarks of Loetz craftsmanship: the richly iridescent surface in peacock-like tones of blue, violet, gold, and green, combined with the "Papillon" (butterfly) technique—an irregular, organic texture achieved through molten glass overlays. The lower body features a rugged, almost volcanic surface that beautifully contrasts with the smooth, softly folded upper rim in deep amethyst tones. This juxtaposition of textures showcases Loetz’s technical mastery and artistic vision.
The color palette is simply mesmerizing: from deep petrol blues to shimmering violets, enhanced by the way light plays across the variegated surface. The tactile richness and visual depth make this a true collector’s piece.
Attributed to Loetz based on:
The iridescent Papillon texture and color scheme
The organic, free-flowing shape and hand-worked rim
Comparable examples found in Loetz documentation and museum collections
