    When I first saw this vase, I immediately fell in love with it. The calciform vase is made of amethyst glass downwards spreading into clear glass. Amethyst glass was often used lateron by Loetz eg in 'Argentan, Empire, Flamarion' and other 'Titania' décors. The production number of my vase remains unknown, but a similar vase is shown in PN=I/4024 (1892-93). I date my vase into the late victorian ('Historism') period arround the 1890's ,too. Most vases of this popular calciform type show a much simpler shaped mouth rim as compared to this wonderful elaborate one. The 16-fold optically blown blossom is running downwards into a small stem making a full 360 degree u-turn before ending into the foot. Especially the foot is shaped in a typical Loetz manner, a disklike glass is pressed and pulled into 16 radial bulges, often differently deep cut in between. This is often seen in Loetz mussel and flower vases. Here, the foot with polished pontil is attached to the flower stem by three leafs and finally by two rings of vertically pulled and twisted teardrops. The gilded enamel in the 2.nd Rococo style of this time show the typical rocailles and tiny blossoms comparable to Dek=I/200. The mouth and the foot are partly gilded, too. My centre vase stands impressive 41 cm high, the top opening is 10.5 cm and the foot measures 13 cm, the weight is 1085 gr.
