AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Small iridescent glass vase in Art Nouveau style, attributed to Loetz, circa 1900-1910
Magnificent blown glass vase with an exceptional iridescent finish, attributable to the prestigious Loetz glassworks, an emblematic manufacturer of Austrian Art Nouveau. This vase, with its compact but remarkable dimensions, perfectly illustrates the elegance and aesthetic research specific to this period.
The glass has a remarkable multicoloured iridescence, with dominant reflections of green, purple and gold. These hues evolve subtly according to the angle of the light, creating an impression of depth and movement. The surface is subtly marked by a cracking effect, giving the vase a delicate and unique texture, typical of certain productions of the period. This effect accentuates the play of light, reinforcing the richness and complexity of the iridescent
Period: Around 1900-1910
Height: 12 cm
Section: 6.3 x 6 cm
Weight: 170 g
The vase is in excellent overall condition, with no visible cracks or restorations. The surface has a controlled cracking effect, typical of the manufacturing process, and is perfectly preserved. Minor traces of wear can be observed on the base, consistent with the age and use of the vase. The surface retains all the liveliness of its iridescence, without tarnishing.
Art Nouveau, an artistic movement active between 1890 and 1910, is distinguished by its inspiration from nature and organic forms. Art Nouveau glassware played a crucial role in this period, embodying the spirit of technical and aesthetic innovation. Bohemian glassmakers, including Loetz, were at the forefront of this artistic revolution, influencing the decorative arts of Europe and beyond.
This vase, with its refined shape, shimmering iridescence and elegant cracking, is a fine example of Art Nouveau glasswork. Attributed to Loetz, it fits just as well into a collection of period objects as it does into a contemporary decor in search of unique pieces. A precious testimony to the elegance and craftsmanship of the Belle Époque.
