Astraa is an older early Loetz decor (one of my favorites) featuring large orange oil spots on a candia silberiris background. The glass ground is clear. This piece, which is about 5.0" tall, has a ground rim and no pontil. There are three large indents around the top two thirds of the vase, and four smaller indents around the bottom third. I didn't find the shape in Ricke, but the decor is unmistakable. The last photo shows the three pieces of Astraa in my collection.
Thanks, B - gotta love those auctions with poor photos :)
Just beutiful!...:-)
Glad you got it, Warren. Who would have thought it looked like this from the photos.
those were some super terrible pics.
Al, I know that feeling all too well!
