I recently purchased this Loetz Pink Medici at auction. It was listed as and marked Tiffany, but I thought that was a spurious signature and was actually Loetz. When it arrived, I was pleasantly surprised at the colors which are amazing in person. It's a nice size measuring 6 1/2" x 6 1/2" and is in excellent condition. Thanks to Alfredo for helping I.D the piece.

So, that's where all my good deals are going :). Nice buy.
Lol. Thanks yesterdaysglass.

I almost went for this but I'm so sick of Loetz pieces with fake Tiffany signatures. These fakers should all be shot at dawn !
Beautiful vase however.
Thank you LoetzBuddies. I'm new to collecting Loetz, so at this point the signature doesn't bother me. I'm just happy to buy one.

Thanks for the loves LoetzBuddies, smiata, sklo42, dlfd911, czechman, vetraio50 and Lisa-lighting.
I was supposed to go to that auction, but ended up not going, and I would have bid on it. I guess you were meant to have it, Rick. Congrats. It's the identical shape as my PG 377, which I bought 2 years ago at that same auction.
Thanks so much dlfd911, I couldn't be happier with it!

Thanks for the loves SteveS, Michelleb007, famatta127 and dlfd911.
I believe I was the under-bidder on this one. I was wondering if it would make a reprise :) Very nice piece, glad you're happy with it.
Thank you Project_Harrach, I'm thrilled with it!
Stunning Rick -- Don't know how I missed it!
Eye Candy -- For REAL !!

I started collecting Loetz for re-sale and myself in the late 70's - early 80's. I loved the "finishes" and the affordable prices. Occasionally, here would be "fake" signatures added; reducing the re-sale prices. Most of the Loetz was never signed; at least my research told me that. Hence, even the "signed" pieces often showed up in order to increase the price. As time went along, I did the same thing with Schneider Glass (Le Verre Francais) at the same time. Few dealers knew what they had, thinking it was Czech from the 1930's. Now, I have sold off nearly all of the pieces and watch the auctions to see when they turn up and over!! I have noticed in recent years that SOME of the Art Glass pieces have dropped back to 1979 prices (wholesale and retail) and some have recovered from the 1981 "high"; dropped and are now selling for those early 1980's prices. A few have finally exceeded the last "high point". Anyone else experience these price changes?
Thanks so much for the quick bio Rosemary, and welcome to CW... I haven't been a Loetz glass collector for long, so my only guide to price fluctuations comes from past auction sales. However, I have seen and felt the drop in Murano art glass prices. Even now, pieces that I would sell for X amount only a few years ago, command much less today. The bright side is you can get these pieces at auction for much lower than before, so I guess it's all relative. I hope with time things turn around. Also, thanks for the love Caper and Aura.

Loved it again !!!!
Interesting about the signature.
Thanks Rosie and Bill.
@Bill... Unfortunately, as with any form of art, you find items with fake signatures. This is the first Loetz I've seen with a Tiffany signature. Typically you find a fake "Loetz Austria" signature on these pieces.
