This amazingly huge LOETZ vase is formed in gold Phaenomen Genre 6893 décor on a Candia (yellow) ground with sixteen internal ribs created from the mould that formed it.

A BEAUTIFUL AND RARE LOETZ SILBERIRIS CABINET VASE WITH APPLIED SILVER DÉCOR
A Loetz cabinet vase with flaring trefoil rim produce from an almost clear glass body with rainbow 'Silberiris' smooth surface iridescence, overlaid with applied pure silver décor.
The smooth Loetz Silberiris décor was a popular base for the rare and much sought-after technique of applied silver decoration.
Some Loetz vases had the applied silver décor executed in Europe but the majority originate from America where the silver was applied on 'glass blanks' acquired directly from the Loetz factory. European applied silver design was often of a cubist or geometric style while American work was frequently floral and typically with art nouveau whiplash forms.
This vase is an early example of American 'silver overlay Loetz', unsigned but in the classic American style.

A STUNNING LOETZ CRETE GLATT IRIDESCENT VASE WITH APPLIED JUNGENDSTIL STYLE SILVER DÉCOR
(Click on the picture for a view of a pair of these vases that we have recently sold.)
A superb formal cabinet vase by Loetz in the subtle 'Crete Glatt' decor and overlaid with immaculate Sterling Silver floral panels in the Jungendstil style.
The silver is invariably of a high pure quality as this is easier to work on glass and the silver workmanship on this vase is near perfection.
The Loetz 'Crete Glatt' décor was a very popular and subtle surface finish but was seldom used for the rare and much sought after technique of applied silver decoration. Because the 'Crete Glatt' décor is so subtle there are very delicate and fine variations in the colours of the iridescence as exhibited on this vase.
This applied silver in formal panels with an intricate floral design is of classic Jungendstil style executed in Bohemia. Normally silver overlay on Loetz vases was applied on blanks shipped to America but this vase with the exquisitely detailed panel designs is a much rarer example produced in Europe.
