Londonloet…
(47 items)
As you may have noticed, I don't have a great record on attribution - lots of unidentified pieces! I'm therefore always a little nervous coming right out and suggesting a maker, but I think I'm on pretty safe ground with these three. I believe they're all Loetz (hold breath, wait for the correction comments).
First, a little Creta Papillon, cut and polished rim. Second, another papillon on green, but a lighter, yellower shade of green base glass. I'm not sure of the correct name for this shade, so comments gratefully received. Fire polished rim and lovely polished pontil mark. Finally, another vase the same size and approximate shape as the first, but with a fire polished rim and polished pontil mark. I believe this is Astglas and when I started writing this post I was sure someone else had posted one in the same, decor, colour and shape fairly recently, but now I cannot find it anywhere!
The smallest is 3" tall, the largest 3.5".
I was inspired to post these by Greatsnowyowl's reference to her collection of pieces in the same shape as the two outer vases (http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/58189-attrib-harrach-cameo-miniature-vase?in=user)
and by Austrohungaro's lovely Creta Papillon (http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/57699-ltz-vase--creta-papillon?in=666).
Both have posted such fabulous collections it is nice to find any similarity to pieces in mine!
Hello to you too! And thank you ; )
all looks good to me.
Thank you, Greatsnowyowl :)
Wow - deep breath - thank you czechman, manddmoir, vetraio50 and LoetzBuddies! Most kind.
Thank you, Maggie-Dog :)
Your Creta Papillons are great (even if they're that small)
Thank you Austro - I like dinky - leaves room for more pieces!
And thank you, Obscurities!
Haha, I started collecting the small sizes of Per Lütken's stuff... until I got the first really big one. Now I just can get enough of his XL size glass!
Thank you Lisa-lighting.
Ah Austro, you're probably right - but I shall just have to resist!
Thank you, ks85!
Thank you famatta127. And may I say I take that love as quite a compliment when I compare my humble little collection to yours!
Thank you Bellin68!
Thanks Al and inky.
