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...

Loetz
The glass factory, originally founded in 1836 by Johann Baptist Eisner, was taken over. Loetz was the premier Bohemian glass works during this period. It was located in Klostermühle, near Rejštejn in the Sušice district in South-West Bohemia, which belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Empire until 1918. Susanna Loetz, widow of Glass entrepreneur Johann Loetz in 1852. She renamed the company "Glasfabrik Johann Loetz Witwe", a name that was retained until all activities were stopped in 1947. In 1879 it passed to Max Ritter von Spaun. Under his guidance, together with director Eduard Prochaska, the glassworks flourished as never before and enjoyed its most successful period. Von Spaun and Prochaska concentrated on the development of innovative glass types and new production techniques. Their first successful speciality was a glass type simulating semiprecious stones. It is often called "Marmoriertes Glas" ("marbled glass"). The range contained Onyx (red/brown), Karneol (red/pink) and later Malachit (green). It was introduced in the second half of the 1880's. From the same period dates the Octopus glass, of which the decor resembles the tentacles of a cephalopod. The production of Marmorier-tes Glas was resumed in 1906, in different colours like yellow and white. Octopus, 1885-1890, 1885-1890, unknown, an Malachit, 1885-1890, unknown, The master glass-blowers of Klostermühle had already carried out experiments with iridescence in the first half of the 1890's, and they produced the Olympia, a classically inspired olive green type, in 1896. Similar, in variants of creta green, bronce or Olympia and averse to any redundant decoration was the Glatt decor. It highly contrasted with the more elaborate finishes of that time, but it constitutes a part of the production with a deep sense for taste and quality. Most of the pieces shown in the "Glatt" decors were manufactured for Max Emmanuel in London.
The glatt decor remained in use for many years. The Chiné decor had thin glass threads spun around the body in irregular patterns. It is not to be confused with the type of glass that was produced by Kralik. Loetz "Chiné" came in clear, opal, green and pink, Kralik "Chiné" in dark purple. The logical sequel to Chiné was the Pampas decor, green or cobalt blue, in which the threads almost disappeared in the surface, with iridised parts in between. Around the same time the dotted Papillon decor was introduced. The beautiful silver spots were employed on a wide array of models and quite effective on the gooseneck (water sprinkler) and sea shell...

The "Cytisus" decoration, also known as "golden rain", is one of the most beautiful decor variations produced by the Johann Loetz Witwe glassworks. As with other decorations, Cytisus was also inspired by the secessionist taste in art in Vienna around 1900. The Beethoven frieze by Gustav Klimt in the Vienna Secession can be cited as an example of this type of artistic design.
The bowl captivates with its calyx shape, where form and decoration seem to harmonize. The rare color combination of "Maigruen" (May green...

In 1836, Johann Eisner established a glassworks in the Southern Bohemian town of Klostermühle, today part of the Czech Republic and called Klášterský Mlýn. His heirs sold the glassworks to Martin Schmid in 1849, and two years later Schmid sold it to Frank Gerstner, attorney-at-law, and his wife Susanne. Susanne was the widow (‘Witwe’ in German) of Johann Loetz, a glassmaker about whom we know very little.
Gerstner transferred sole ownership to Susanne shortly before his death in 1855, and she successfully led and expanded the company during the subsequent 20 years, manufacturing mainly crystal, overlay and painted glass.
In 1879, Susanne transferred the company – now called ‘Johann Loetz Witwe’ – to Maximilian von Spaun, the son of her daughter Karoline. One year later, von Spaun hired Eduard Prochaska and the two of them modernized the factory and introduced new, patented techniques and processes.
The first fruits of this collaboration were exciting innovations in Historicism glass, including Intarsia and Octopus glass and the very popular marbled (‘marmorisierte’) glass which imitated semi-precious stones like red chalcedony, onyx and malachite. Success at exhibitions in Brussels, Munich and Vienna were crowned by awards at the Paris World’s Exposition in 1889.
In 1897, von Spaun first saw Tiffany Favrile glass exhibited in Bohemia and Vienna, and this convinced him that the art nouveau style was also the way to go for Loetz Witwe. The next eight years were to be the most artistically significant and profitable period in the entire history of the company.
The Art Nouveau Period –The glassworks created large numbers of its own new designs of iridescent, trailing art nouveau glass, sometimes in collaboration with well-known artists and designers like Marie Kirschner and Franz Hofstötter (aka Franz Hofstätter). The zenith of Loetz art nouveau glass was epitomized by the so-called Phänomen series of designs, much of it designed by Hofstötter, which won a Grand Prix (alongside Tiffany, Gallé, Daum and Lobmeyr) at the Paris World’s Exposition in 1900.
The company’s success during this period had two prime drivers – the technical expertise of Prochaska and the business acumen of von Spaun. Loetz Witwe created many of its own designs, and also supplied glass commissioned by major customers like E. Bakolowits (Vienna) and Max Emanuel...

Loetz Jugenstil Art Glass, Bronze & Marble Lamp ‘Fly Agaric Mushroom’, ca. 1900
By Loetz Glass
Located in New York, NY
About
This museum-quality Bohemian Jugenstil lamp by Loetz Witwe Glassworks, ca. 1900 is distinguished by non-trivial composition, refine? forms of amazing proportions and the unique selection of materials. The Loetz art glass lamp shade in form of a fly agaric mushroom cap is of ideally organic form and color; and is flawless. The patinated bronze lamp base mounted on a red veined marble plinth is a work of art by itself. It consists of a tall, graceful mushroom stem and a plump baby-mushroom nestled against it in the middle of a moss-covered clearing, in the middle of which an elegant lizard made of cold-painted bronze froze in sensitive tension.

Glass Vase Cytisus Decoration Lemon Yellow Green Blue Loetz circa 1902 Austria

Austrian Jugendstil glass vase "Cytisus Lemon Yellow" decoration Johann Loetz Witwe yellow green blue circa 1902
The “Cytisus” decoration is certainly one of the most exquisite decor variations created by the Loetz glassworks. With its shimmering gold particles, it reflects the secessionist ornamentation of turn-of-the-century Vienna. In this way, Max Ritter von Spaun and his collaborators proved that they had their finger on the artistic and aesthetic pulse of the times.
Executed in the form of a reduced flower calyx with five indentations in the wall and a five-pass distorted mouth, this vase fits into the style of production around 1902. The fused crumbled dots seem to float on the vase like lightweight gold particles. The complex decoration as well as the technically elaborate glass body are evidence of the great mastery of the glassblowers in Klostermühle and show why the Johann Loetz Witwe glass manufactory was one of the leading producers of precious luxury glass in Vienna 1900.
