This exceptional Art Nouveau vase, crafted by Johann Loetz Witwe, belongs to the extremely rare Phänomen Genre 1/215. Introduced in 1901, this décor is considered one of the most remarkable creations within Loetz’s production. Only a small number of these vases are known to exist, most of which are part of renowned museum collections, such as the Glass Museum in Passau. In this collection, all three base colors of this décor—Candia (colorless glass), dark green, and dark blue—are fully represented.

Iridescent glass threads gracefully wind around the body of the vase, creating an elegant and organic pattern. Additionally, the vase is adorned with silver-blue iridescent dots, which generate a captivating brilliance and dynamic play of colors with every angle of light. The iridescence is of exceptional quality and showcases Loetz’s unparalleled technical mastery.
