Standing at a fraction under 16" tall! this is an imposing piece.
I think there are bigger ones too, would love to know how big these get?
Referred to by many as a 'propeller vase' for obvious reasons, it's a common Loetz shape and is seen in many decors, but Chiné is by far the commonest.
It's lost some of it's gold paint on the rim and the base shows extraordinary wear, which is undoubtedly due to it's weight of 5.8lbs (2.7kg).
Gorgeous piece phil love the texture & the twist first class
Thanks Malkey!
I would never guessed it is so heavy
Phil, this IS a massive piece! Wow! And it is beautiful, too. Let me see if I can find it on my Loetz cd to see if they note sizes... :)
It only lists 7.5" and 9"...yours is off the charts! ;)
Thanks Michelle - I got the PN from Loetz.com so I'm assuming that I was correct in the ID, as the one one the site has the same guilding. I have previously seen one listed on Ebay (about a year ago) at 18" tall, but maybe that was not measured correctly - who knows??? Everyone who sees my collection always comments on this particular piece.
I bet they do, Phil! It is really a terrific piece! :)
Thanks again Michelle - I always value your input :)
