Large vase in the shape of a flower, Johann Loetz Witwe, supposedly decor Silberblatt, ca.
Organic shapes were highly appreciated by the buying audience and the designers of the Loetz manufacture invented a high number of floral objects. Jack-in-the-pulpit and floriform vases had great success during the early times of the Loetz enterprise and were executed in many different decoration variants. In the years around 1910, a large number of new designs with organic forms were made. The success of these pieces with the public was unbroken. Even today these objects are very popular with collectors.
The impressive size and the very good condition of this vase are particularly striking. We could not find any structural damage of the glass; with such filigree tendrils and melts it is a small miracle! The design sketch of this vase also includes an unknown decoration variant called "Silver Leaf". Perhaps this vase could be an example of this unknown decoration variant.

Presentation
Johann Lötz Witwe, also known as Joh. Loetz Witwe, was a renowned glass manufacturer based in Klostermühle (now Klášterský Mlýn, part of Rejštejn) in Bohemia, which was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and later Czechoslovakia. Founded in 1836 by Johann Eisner, the company was acquired in 1850 by Susanne Lötz, the widow of master glassmaker Johann Lötz. Under her leadership, the company initially produced crystal glass, overlay glass, and hand-painted pieces.
In 1879, Susanne’s grandson, Max Ritter von Spaun, took over the business. Alongside designer Eduard Prochaska, he modernized the glassworks and introduced innovative techniques, including Intarsia glass, Octopus glass, and marble-like glass mimicking semi-precious stones such as onyx and malachite. These innovations earned Loetz recognition at international exhibitions in Brussels, Munich, and Vienna, culminating in an award at the 1889 Paris Exposition Universelle.
At the end of the 19th century, Art Nouveau influences became evident, especially after von Spaun discovered Louis Comfort Tiffany’s Favrile glass in 1897. Inspired by this new style, Loetz developed the Phänomen series, known for its iridescent patterns and organic forms. These groundbreaking designs won a Grand Prix at the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle, placing Loetz alongside prestigious names such as Tiffany, Gallé, and Daum.
Loetz collaborated with famous artists, including Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser, and the Wiener Werkstätte, further enhancing its reputation. However, the turmoil of the 20th century, including World War I and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, affected the company’s prosperity. Despite attempts at revival, World War II and the expulsion of German-speaking populations from Czechoslovakia led to its permanent closure.
Today, Johann Lötz Witwe's creations are regarded as iconic examples of Art Nouveau glass and are displayed in prestigious museums worldwide, including the Musée d’Orsay in Paris. Their unique aesthetic and exceptional craftsmanship continue to inspire glass art collectors and enthusiasts.
