The shape is from Series I, Production Number 6978. This was found it in the musterschnitte, Ricke band II, thank you Dave!
This is one of the finest Loetz's next to my Astartig, I so far have the pleasure of owning...this is a HUGE 18.5 x 7.75 wide. This Vase is one of the largest vases I believe Loetz has ever made.
...this is in mint condition except that at one point as was par for the course on Large Vases... the pontil was drilled out for the use as a lamp.
Special thanks to Dave Littlefield for helping me with the production number and blueprint. I could not have done it without him! :) Thank you for teaching me ....
I'm first, lol, nice piece Lee :-)
Kerry, OMG you were so fast in loving!!!!!! I was just double checking the posting..and saw you loving it!! XOXOXOXO my friend!
MOON : love the shape and size.
Loetz, thank you ....I am very happy!
This form was made in numerous different sizes and decors. 6", 7", 10", 12", 14", 18". There was a version called 6978/II that came in 5", 6", 7", 8", 10", 12", 14", 18". I believe yours is the 6978/II/18", which lists candia Papillon as a decor in which it was made. This must have been a very popular form in 1897.
Dave, that is amazing information!!!!! I am so grateful for all your help and patience! I am stunned to know its from 1897! I will baby this vase in my new house! :)) BTW you turned me onto Loetz!!! I am loving the ride!
