Loetz Art Nouveau Tango Vase, Execution 157 Sky Blue-Black, Austria-Hungary 1914

About the Item

Body blown in a model, constriction over a flush stand, then widening in the form of a belly and narrowing again to a straight, tubular neck with a straight, rounded mouth rim, vertical, black-colored ribs over the entire vase body, polished pontil on the underside. The Loetz factory came into contact with the Viennese arts and crafts designer Michael Powolny through his designs for the Cologne Werkbund exhibition. His striped decoration - only shown in Cologne in blue on a white background - became extremely popular in the following eight years and was produced in countless color combinations. Internally this decor was designated 'Ausführung/execution 157' and applied to a large number of internal designs. Whether some of these forms are based on Powolny's designs cannot be clarified on the basis of the archival material that has been preserved. Form: Series II, Prod. No. - PN 5231 Decor: Execution 157 'Tango', year 1914 Glass with sky blue underlay, inlaid and folded black threads on the formed vertical ribs, as well as on the upper and lower rim.

    Austrian Art Nouveau glass vase manufactured by Johann Loetz Witwe, early 20th century This glass artwork is a particularly elegant example from the late production of the Johann Loetz Witwe glass manufacture. Since the artists at Loetz were always open to new influences, they experimented with a variety of different decoration variations. Fortunately, a considerable proportion of those decorations could be assigned to the company without any doubt on the basis of the remaining cut patterns. However, some decoration variants have not yet been studied unequivocally. These variants are called "unidentified decorations". Our exciting object with the triple wavy opening and the silvery-golden shimmer...

The vase features a cobalt blue ground that adds depth and richness to its overall appearance. Its surface showcases a captivating iridescent wave pattern, which adds a mesmerizing shimmer and dynamic quality to the glass.

The chalice-form of the vase gives it an elegant and graceful silhouette. This design creates a harmonious balance between the visually striking upper portion and the sturdy base.
