Loetz "New Wave Art Nouveau" vase, ca. 1920

After World War I, production at the Loetz glass works began to take on a retrospective flair, using art nouveau techniques and forms from earlier in their history in new combinations of texture and color.

Here is such an example combining two classic Loetz decors and combining them in a new way. Cobalt glatt, with stripes of silberiris (silver iridescence). It has a fire polished rim, ground and polished pontil, with the acid-stamped Czecho-slovakia oval mark. Height: about 5 inches.
