Description

This is a small Loetz Carneol glass vase, blown in Bohemia in 1888/1889. Carneol glass was only produced over these two years.

The vase is in excellent condition. This means, of course, that it shows some wear and tear to the base and elsewhere commensurate with use.

The vase is of shouldered ovoid form with a collar neck, and is blown in earth tones of dark red and white to produce an onyx-like effect; or more exactly that of Carnelian from which it gets its name. The shoulders have been enamelled and gilded with a scroll-work design. The upper rim measures 5.3 cm (2.1 inches) in diameter. The vase flares out and measures 10 cm (4 inches) in diameter at its widest point. The vase is 8.5 cm (3.4 inches) in height. There is a basal band of gilding. The vase is unsigned but most definitely Loetz. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches, or any obvious signs of restoration. There is a collector's sticker to the base. It weighs 255 g. (~ 9 oz.).

FAQs

Loetz Carneol glass is a distinctive type of art glass produced by the Johann Loetz Witwe factory in Bohemia, primarily during the late Victorian and Art Nouveau periods, known for its marbled and variegated visual effects resembling carnelian stone.

Loetz pieces were crafted using complex glass-blowing and chemical manipulation techniques, often incorporating metallic oxides to create iridescent surfaces, swirled colour patterns, and applied metal or enamel mounts.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit characteristic weight, pontil marks on the base, intricate internal glass effects, and occasionally etched or acid-stamped factory signatures, though many period pieces remain unsigned.

Such pieces function well as focal points on neutral surfaces like mantels or display cabinets, allowing their complex colouration and craftsmanship to stand out against minimalist backdrops.

Preservation requires gentle hand washing with lukewarm water and mild soap when necessary, avoiding harsh chemicals, abrasive materials, and direct exposure to prolonged strong sunlight.
