Not Loetz but there is no German section on CW.
Nice purple body with finely executed enameled lilies.
My German art glass contact tells me the enamel work was most likely done by Betty Heldrich who worked for Poschinger. 7.50 inches high.
Reference : Passau Glasmuseum, V.1 ff.
F.W.F
Very pretty indeed it would fit in anywhere.
Great enamel work, and I like the base color and subtle iridescence. Might have to look out for one myself.
gorgeous, is it signed?
It could be a Carl Schmoll piece. Is it marked underneath?
GSO & cogito : no it is not signed.
ah oh well, still a gorgeous example :)
I share the same sentiment as GSO. Any early Poschinger is well worth it. Without any markings underneath, I'm afraid you can't definitively nail it down to Betty Hedrich, though she certainly is a possibility. Schmoll is another prospect, but regardless of the design/motif attribution it is decidedly a wonderful piece of Poschinger.
Sometimes the markings on these old poschingers is there but very hard to read, it gets worn away. I have a few examples like this. you can still see it in certain light.. just a thought....
cogito & owl : thanks for the input. I don't have the vase in hand.....it's on the way to me. I'll check carefully for markings.
