Antique 1910s-20s Loetz, Art Nouveau Iridescent Green with Hallmarked Silver Collar Art Glass Vase

£88.00 Save £-88.00

This stunning and very tactile work of Art Nouveau design is by Bohemian glassworks Loetz (1836 - 1947) who were best known for their trailing, iridescent art glass. The abstract bottle and form of this piece is a gentle undulating flow of smooth and soft curves, with rounded thorn-like tips that give the impression of a cactus translated into art glass. The base colour of the glass is a lush Forest green which is overlaid with the blue-leaning rainbow iridescence.

The piece is finished with a silver collar accent (hallmarked to London Assay Office c. 1920s) which complements the elegant form and was common a common finishing touch to art glass design during the Art Nouveau period.

CONDITION
Superb. There are no chips, cracks or repair to the glass, there is a mild sanding at the rim that is visible as a result of the wear to the silver collar and also from the production process. There is significant and visible wear to the silver collar which can be left untouched for its antique charm or replaced if preferred. Please see photos as they form part of the condition report. The silver collar is hallmarked to the London Assay Office, 'HP&S' (Henry Perkins & Sons) c. 1920s.

A BIT OF HISTORY
Loetz was originally founded as Klášterský Mlýn in the Southern Bohemian town of Klostermühl during 1836. It would be 1851 before the glassworks was purchased by Frank Gerstner, who transferred it to his wife Susanne Loetz shortly before his death in 1855. Susanne would go on to lead the glassworks to great success and expansion, setting it on the path of international fame and a reputation which persists even now.

Loetz is best known for their broad range of designs for iridescent, trailing art glass, created during the Art Nouveau period (c. 1890 - 1910). At times, designs were created in collaboration with well-known artists and designers of the time such as Marie Kirschner and Franz Hofstötter (aka Franz Hofstätter).

Sadly, the transition into the Art Deco period (c. 1910 - 1940), the outbreak of World War I combined with The Great Depression in the late twenties and two significant fires set the glassworks on the road to decline. The final declaration of bankruptcy came in 1939, following the German invasion of Czechoslovakia with production fully ceasing in 1947.

This exquisitely intricate, Japanese Cloisonné enamel piece is dated to c.1900 from the Meiji era (1868-1912) by Takahara Komajiro 高原駒次郎 of Kyoto.

Currently held on consignment at Andrews Oakville

Takahara is referenced as the most well-known and consistent maker of Kyoto-Jippo (tr. 'Cloisonné') wares, founding a workshop in 1894. The Cloisonné technique is revered for hand-applying thin wire or metal and different coloured enamels. The technique has been elevated to astounding heights in this piece when you consider the detailed wired sections are as thin as 1mm in width.

Also present are Takahara's signature design characteristics despite being unsigned; most notably the floral patterns and the 'Takara-mono' (tr. 'treasured items') featured in the roundels. Further indications of Takahara's style can be seen in the green overlapping scales and band of dotted red circlets brocading the foot and rim of the vase. From delicate sprigs of Sakura Cherry Blossom to Moutan Peonies and Wisteria, the Cloisonné flourishes with elements of jewel-coloured enamel in a joyful celebration of flora in bloom.

The exceptional skill in delicately applying the cloisonne in such a diminutive size is a true wonder and the condition of the enamel décor makes this piece a rare find. Not only did Takahara's Cloisonné skill contend with creating the enamel art in minute detail, but it was also applied to the rise and fall of each curve for the 6 lobes. This fantastic work of art makes a superbly decorative and highly collectable art feature.

CONDITION
Very Good. There is mild surface bruising with traces of enamel loss, minor impressions to the rim and base, as well as some natural enamel pitting that is commensurable with age, please see the photos as part of the condition report. 

MEASUREMENTS

A BIT OF HISTORY

Cloisonne or 'Cloisonné' are metalwork objects with decoration that is applied by creating separating sections using wire or thin metal. The sections are filled with different coloured enamels to create a visual image or pattern and the whole piece is fired multiple times to realise the colours.

The exceptional skill in delicately applying the cloisonne in such a diminutive size is a true wonder and the condition of the enamel décor makes this piece a rare find. Not only did Takahara's Cloisonné skill contend with creating the enamel art in minute detail, but it was also applied to the curving and thin-stemmed form. This fantastic work of art makes a superbly decorative and highly collectable art feature.

CONDITION
Good. There is a single hairline crack with traces of enamel loss and 2 minute and non-obvious losses to the enamel and natural enamel pitting that is commensurable with the age of the piece, please see photos as part of the condition report.

This exquisitely intricate Totai Shippo piece is dated to c.1880 from the Japanese Meiji era (1868-1912 ).

Totai Shippo is the technique of applying Cloisonné enamel to ceramic believed to have been discovered by Sukamoto Kaisuke (b.1828 - d.1887) some time around 1868. Traditional Cloisonné of using thin wire or metal to contain different coloured enamels applied to a metal vessel itself is already a revered technique. Totai Shippo elevates the technique to another level when you consider the detailed wired sections of this piece is as small as 1-2mm in width.

This particular piece bears two 'faces', a panel on each side that displays the detailed design of butterflies, Chrysanthemums and Anemones in tones of Dusted Powder and Cobalt Blue, Oxblood Red and Apple Green. Encircling the panels are features of Sakura buds and blossom interwoven with the Teal patterned background. 

This excellent work of art makes for a superbly decorative and highly collectable art feature.

CONDITION
Very Good. There is age-related wear to the enamel and crazing on the non-enamelled sections that is commensurable with the age of the piece, please see photos as they form part of the condition report.
