All auctions / Miscellaneous / Loetz - Bowl - Glass - Candia Papillon
Loetz “Papillon” Art Nouveau bowl, circa 1900. This sophisticated Loetz bowl displays a masterful contrast in décor, showcasing the factory’s technical virtuosity. The interior is finished in a radiant gold Siberiris (silver-iris), which yields a striking, deep blue-violet iridescence. In contrast, the exterior is executed in the iconic Candia Papillon décor, featuring a shimmering, multifaceted silver-blue iridescence that dances across the surface. The bowl boasts exceptionally strong, vibrant iridescence that captures and shifts light dynamically—a quality that is subtle in photographs but breathtaking in person. It is completed with a polished pontil on the base, a definitive mark of authentic hand-finished Loetz craftsmanship. Dimensions: 5.5 cm (H) x 21.5 x cm (Diameter) Excellent condition: NO chips, NO cracks, NO repairs. Please see the photos, which are part of the description Loetz Witwe is a historic glass manufacturer known for its production of high-quality art glass in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Founded in the town of Klostermühle, Bohemia (now part of the Czech Republic) around 1836, the company was one of the first glass manufacturers to embrace the Art Nouveau style, and became famous for its innovative glass designs and techniques. It gained international acclaim by showcasing its work and winning awards at all the major world exhibitions during the 1890's and the first years of the new century, including the prestigious World’s Fair in Paris. Loetz often collaborated with prominent artists and architects (e.g. Franz Hofstötter, Marie Kirschner, Leopold Bauer, Koloman Moser, Otto Prutscher, Adolf Beckert, Josef Hoffmann, Dagobert Peche, Michael Powolny and others), which helped to cultivate a unique artistic identity for their glassware. This helped to establish Loetz as a leading name in decorative arts. Will be packed with extra care and sent by registered and insured mail to your door.
