Another post from Andy in Europe:
Thank you glasfreund. I was just going to post a few Heckerts today, so your post is an excellent introduction. I reasoned like this two years ago: if "Silberband" is documented Heckert, then the Silberband shapes in Marmopal would also probably be Heckert. With the tall soliflores this analogy does not work, but with the red one (see photo) it does. The question if the 85/3710 Loetz shift is Heckert is still open, but this decor has been seen in documented Heckert shapes. The one with red lines and papillon decor is a documented Thamm design, as well as the blue vase. All in all, if you collect Bohemian and German Art Nouveau, a few examples of Heckert are worth having.
Love the first one.....looks like Loetz.
I agree with LoetzBuddies, I love the first one!
Those pieces similar to Loetz PG 85/3710 and 85/3780 will long live as Loetz. But they are Heckert. The left is Th 66 (probably, depending on the size). Once you have recognized the difference to Loetz it gets clear. The Heckert bands are relief-like, not as smooth melted into the surface as with the Loetz PGs.
Even the experts can be wrong. The Loetz book from Mergl/Ploil/Ricke shows a Heckert glass (production number Th 107) in the decor catalog as Loetz PG 85/3710 (B148).
