Loetz papillion creta double gourd vase.

A good loetz papillion creta double gourd vase. circa late 1900s. Maybe as late as 1920. This double gourd tube rimmed Loetz vase with typical lustre full iridescent body of green ground.

Listed loetz.

A recommended starter piece to any lover of real quality retro Bohemian art glass. of which the LOETZ name is synonymous with the turn of the centuries finest of art glass pioneers. Bohemian art glass to this day is still recognised as some of the World’s finest. I predict Loetz of early 19th century, signed or as the norm, unsigned, Loetz iridescent art glass wares will catch and overtake Galle and Daum Nancy values as we enter further into the 21st century.  Especially pieces of a formal based form with strong ballanced colours , adventurous features, alluring to young and old, suited perfectly to this 21st century. Retro objects d’ art, Is now.

Loetz transcends fashion though better than near all of the more famous glass art designers of the time. As Art Nouveau / Deco style wains as with all our past fads n fashions change with time, Loetz of 1900s will still look from tomorrow’s World rather than a yesteryear folly. For collectors of old and new, Loetz will fit with it all perfectly. Less dated than much of the formentioned prominent art glass ware makers works, style committed to our in or out of fashion cycle of life. Loetz values are economy linked, not trending fashion or period bound.

Perfect condition.
