Descrizione Dettagliata
Very beautiful bowl with a poly-lobed rim, hot worked in iridescent glass with nets, called "à la ficelle" in relief, on a tripod base in gilded metal, finely chased.
This very beautiful work is attributed to the Loetz factory.
Period: Art Nouveau
Circa : 1880 - 1910
Dimensions : Height : 9cm -Diameter. Diameter : 22cm
In the heart of Europe, in Bohemia, the Loetz factory developed at the end of the 19th century a production of glassware that was very successful.
Characterised by iridescent surface decorations and sinuous shapes inspired by nature, the vases and bowls of the glassworks are fully in line with the Austrian Art Nouveau style (Jugendstill), which predominated in the decorative arts of the time.
The special colour and relief typical of Loetz glasses give them an extremely refined touch.
Loetz was also one of the pioneers in the use of electroplating techniques, and patented many of them.
The innovative and original shapes used by Loetz, inspired by ancient Persian and Roman glass objects, are typical of Art Nouveau glassware.
Other popular Loetz motifs are the vases inspired by nature and decorated with original "swan neck" shapes or "peacock" colours in iridescent blue-green tones.
This constantly renewed creativity was made possible in part by collaborations with Viennese dealers and artists and earned Loetz several awards at the World Fairs, notably in Paris in 1900.
