I have seen quite a bit of Loetz in my day but this unique color really drew me in. I have no idea what its official name is. Its as if they took Bronce Glatt and mixed in some copper and some yellow/orange. The applied glass tadpoles are different from the ground, having an oil spot Papillon decoration. The vase seems to be a Vesuvian that mated with a PG 1/64 variant.
This Loetz vase stands 6" tall and exactly matches PN 773 except that it has the addition of the applied glass tadpoles. Its properly signed within the pontil with the early Loetz Austria signature.
Could this be Tiffany with a bogus signature ? just a thought
Indeed Marty ... it does look a lot like Tiffany ... ??)
Tiffany is ruled out by the use of the Papillon tadpoles, the perfect execution of the Loetz script signature and the documented Loetz form.
... Lovely !
... Could be a good way to move some of those surplus Tiffany pieces though .... :-)
... Is this a shape match for your earlier post of the 85/3780 ??
... And well done Marty ... I haven't laughed so much in weeks !!
SteveS...yes. Same form.
Glad you can see the humour :)
Another stunner!!!

Unfortunately I'm very late, I just rediscovered the photo while doing other research. This vase was shown in 1901/1902 at the winter exhibition of the Austrian Museum of Art and Industry.
I therefore assume that it is a model made especially for this exhibition and was rarely made. See the photo at Neuwirth "Lötz 1900" on page 265, illustration no. 282.
Leider komme ich sehr spät, ich habe das Foto erst eben wieder bei anderen Recherchen entdeckt. Diese Vase wurde 1901/1902 auf der Winterausstellung des Österreichischen Museums für Kunst und Industrie gezeigt.
Ich gehe daher davon aus, daß es sich um ein extra für diese Ausstellung angefertigtes Modell handelt und selten angefertigt wurde. Siehe das Foto bei Neuwirth "Lötz 1900" auf Seite 265, Abbildung Nr. 282.
