Loetz Vase Leopold Bauer (attrib.) Ausfuhrung 145 ca. 1913

Although the shape of this vase from the Johann Loetz Witwe glassworks is not among the documented paper patterns of Leopold Bauer, its powerful volume and compact form display a clear stylistic affinity with his designs. For this reason, we attribute the vase to Leopold Bauer

The Ausführung 145 decor, featuring steel-gray threads running in a diagonal marbled pattern over a royal green opal base, closely resembles the Titania decors, which were frequently paired with Bauer’s designs. On this simple, modern form, the decor achieves a particularly striking effect.
