A rare and exquisite pair of antique Loetz iridescent glass vases, made in Bohemia around 1900 during the height of the Art Nouveau movement. Crafted in a lush emerald green glass, these petite vases feature applied pulled feather or leaf motifs in shimmering iridescent hues of blue, violet, and gold, showcasing Loetz’s unparalleled skill in decorative surface treatment. The vases are signed, Loetz Austria, a common signature used by the Loetz glassworks for export pieces between the years 1899-1903.
Each vase measures 5 inches high by 5 inches in diameter, making them a perfect accent piece for interior designers, collectors of fine Bohemian art glass, or as shelf styling elements in refined interiors. Their organic, bulbous form and satin matte finish are emblematic of the Jugendstil aesthetic, and ideal for anyone seeking authentic early 20th-century decorative arts.
These small-scale Loetz vases are highly collectible, particularly in pairs, and represent the best of turn-of-the-century Central European glass artistry.
