Loetz Rubin Phänomen Genre 7501 Vase, PN I-7502, ca. 1899

This is one of the earliest Phänomen Genres, ca. 1898-1899. The ground is rubin (ruby red), covered with combed threads of blue and silver in a feather pattern. PG 7501 was made in other colors, but this one is my favorite. This decor is drawn directly onto the paper pattern for PN I-7502, even though the production notes don't list this as a decor for this production number. Still, this and other examples exist, so you must believe in the glass over the incomplete documentation. :)

For more examples of this decor, including the other colors in which it was made, see the PG 7501 page on Loetz.com here:
