Uranium / UV reactive
Much of the snake was broken off & there's a crack / heat check in it also.
Polished Pontil
Very pale colouring against white. 1st image is against dark background so looks darker.
Photos taken in difficult circumstances.
I believe this one is Loetz.
Thank you
Olympia ? Glatt ?
It has no dimples.
Even with the uranium Alfredo ??
It looks like Olympia as a base.
Loetz, 1900 Series II Prod. Nr. 699 Olympia glatt. Page 110 in Ricke II book.
Perfect ! Thank you David, That's more detail than I could have hoped for.
Thanks to everyone else too.
Ricke II ?#I can only find one Loetz Ricke book, this:
Lötz: Bohemian Glass 1880-1940
(ISBN 10: 3775713220 / ISBN 13: 9783775713221 )
Johann Lotz Witwe; Johann Lötz Witwe; Editor-Jan Mergl; Editor-Ernst Ploil; Editor-Helmut Ricke
Is this the one ?
ooops heres another;
Ricke's Lötz Böhmisches Glas 1880-1940 Band 1 and Band 2
This one ?
That's the one. The German language version is what the English language one is based on. The 1989 Band 2 is the line drawing book that I am referring to with my earlier comment. The English one that was printed a few years ago has the "band 2" with the line drawings on a CD in the back cover. Good luck finding any of them. I have them all, but I seldom see copies for sale. There is one on German eBay right now, I think. You can also find them on Amazon for $500-$700.
The color in the photos seems to be off a little. If it is UV reactive, it is not bronce glatt, as none of my bronce glatts are reactive, but all of my Olympias are. It looks like the color saturation has been boosted in the last three photos, either that or the person's fingers in the third photo are really that red.
