A continuation of the series.
A friend of mine has asked me to share some of his collection of fine Loetz here on CW. He owns several hundred pieces of Loetz and most are in storage. I will be posting some of the better and seldom seen pieces here over the next few days or weeks. Many of these have never been seen by the public outside of reference books. The photos in some cases were taken many years ago and the quality is often lacking. I tried to fix them a bit where I was able to. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did when I saw them for the first time.
I do not have the time to catalog and describe each one. I will leave that work for you in the comments...sort of a class on Loetz identification.
whoever this is has a super to die for collection. wow
He has about 500 pieces total...a few dozen in the MAK in Vienna
holy crap! I wish I was old enough to have been collecting this stuff when it was still attainable. Same goes for Tiffany.
All I can say is wow!
Number three I have as PG 7966? The forth one looks like Titania with a zipper pattern a lot like PG 353 or 1/158. The first one is amazing, and has elements of PG 2/318. The second looks like a FH in the PG 420's?
Anyone else? Tony did say this is a Loetz ID class, and I'm here to learn! :)
The third one could also be PG 7966/8060. I think that's more accurate. I still don't quite understand the "combined" genres, but this seems to come up fairly often with Loetz IDs. Explanation anyone?
Incredible variety, a feast for the eyes & mind!
the 3 photos on the right are spectacular! the first one... not nearly as interesting. just my opinion. i almost missed this post for that reason.
As someone here on CW once remarked to a pic like this....this makes me want to throw all my Loetz in the garbage...
