Description
Vase, Johann Loetz Witwe, decor pink Orbulin, ca.

The iridescent Loetz vase impresses especially with its excellent Orbulin decor. In appearance, this is reminiscent of the Diaspora decor, but is even more elaborately crafted through an additional step in the production process and features crater-like depressions. Six curved lips close the bulbous body at the top. The pink ground is covered with pale silvery blue shimmer, creating an exciting contrast. The significant vase with the elevated decoration should not be missing in any Loetz collection.

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.
