    Description

    Anyone who has ever had the opportunity to watch a glassblower at work, can imagine how challenging
    the production of large objects is, simply because of their weight and gravity. If such a huge vessel is also
    paired with an appropriate decoration, it becomes a masterpiece. Relief-like applications cover the entire
    surface of this vase like a vegetal ornament. On the green ground, named “Creta” at Loetz glassworks, a lush
    vegetation is suggested. The elaborately lobed mouth is modeled after the shape of a flower, reinforcing the
    vegetal character of the Formosa decor. This vase impressively shows the implementation of floral forms in
    Art Nouveau artefacts and simultaneously fascinates with its colorfully iridescent decoration.
