The loopy handles come in a few variations but all have a unique quality about them (they almost don't fit the catagory), They are one of the only types where the handle starts on the base and collects at the top. For some surprising reason this shape comes in a wider color variation than most. They come with only black handles and are signed with the oval Loetz when they are signed. Lastly are they legs or handles? Perhaps i'll start a new series called: Loetz - 3-legged piezes
1. Loopy bulb shape with black handles, you can see there is a slight variation where the handles connect at the top
2. loopy cup shape with black handles, the handles are thinner and flatter
3. Loopy bowl with black legs and a rare cased example in sky blue and white (with white legs) notice how different the legs are...
4. Loopy cup in Coral (I swear, its different) and black handles marked (embossed) Helgoland on the side
