Circa 1890, Loetz Octopus vase, not to be confused with its sister decor, Victoria. Both lines are considered by many as Loetz’ most technical achievement and a testament to the skill they possessed long before the art nouveau period and their Phanomen glass arrived and well before Tiffany Furnaces emerged (a long topic of discussion that would be!). The vase offered here is an excellent specimen in particularly crisp condition retaining nearly all of its gold embellishments. The package is a culmination of Orientalism, Germanic, Bohemian, & Technological Advancement ~ & much more, such history indeed. It measures 10 1/4” tall. No chips, no cracks, etc.
