The collaboration between the Johann Loetz Witwe glassworks and the Viennese glass dealer E. Bakalowits S\u00f6hne spanned more than three decades. However, their most significant contributions to the history of decorative arts emerged around 1900\u2014a period widely regarded as the pinnacle of the Art Nouveau movement. The vase presented here originates from this particularly creative and influential phase.
\nAt that time, glass production in Klosterm\u00fchle was defined by two distinctive design features: the intricately combed and thread-wrapped decoration, and the shimmering, metallic iridescent surface. This signature technique was introduced in 1898 and became known under the term Phenomen Glass. Vessels created using this method are considered among the most technically advanced, artistically innovative, and commercially successful products of the Loetz manufactory.
\nThis particular vase features the Phenomen Genre 7773 d\u00e9cor, distinguished by ist broad, dynamically distorted bands with an intense bluish shimmer set against a radiant orange background. The vibrant color palette reaches ist full aesthetic impact when combined with the vase\u2019s striking silhouette.
\nThe ground pontil mark bearing an engraved signature underscores the authenticity of the piece, making it a highly sought-after collector\u2019s item for connoisseurs of Jugendstil glass art.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
