Description:

This exceptionally beautiful and particularly successful Art Nouveau vase was produced by Johann Loetz Witwe in the Phänomen Genre 1/4 decoration. This distinctive décor was introduced in 1900 and is characterized by its expressive, elongated tadpoles, which extend diagonally from the rim across the surface towards the body of the vase.

Phänomen Genre 1/4 was produced by Loetz in several different base glass colors. This particular example is executed in Opal, allowing the iridescent decoration to come beautifully to life. The harmonious combination of form, color, and decoration makes this vase an exceptionally fine and convincing example of this highly desirable Phänomen Genre..
