Johann Loetz Witwe – Phänomen Genre 377 – Silver overlay

This impressive vase by Johann Loetz Witwe is crafted in the Phänomen Genre 377, a décor renowned for its unique surface texture, iridescent flowing patterns, and vibrant color combinations. This distinctive surface texture adds a tactile dimension, beautifully capturing and reflecting light, giving the vase a lively and almost mystical effect. Blown in a rich cobalt blue hue, the vase exudes a deep, mysterious color that enhances its enchanting appearance. Standing at 17.5 cm tall, the vase has an imposing presence, further accentuated by the elegant floral decoration of thickly applied silver around its neck.

The silver mount, marked “Sterling” and bearing the décor number “X3016,” was added in the United States, where decorative silver mounts were often applied to glass objects to make them more exclusive and valuable. Adding silver was a popular technique at the time, not only increasing the aesthetic value of the object but also emphasizing its status as a luxury item. The silver decoration on this Loetz vase is striking and meticulously applied, featuring rich, detailed floral motifs that beautifully contrast with the iridescent cobalt blue glass.

The silver not only gives the vase a refined and exclusive appearance but also adds an artistic value. The combination of the delicate glass and the robust silver enhances the visual impact, with the silver accentuating the intense blue glass and further highlighting the object’s beauty. This mount is not just an addition but a carefully chosen element that elevates the entire design, making the vase a true collector’s item that reflects both the artistic and material value of Loetz glass.
