Loetz Formosa green glass vase - Authentic

---

Today i would like to share with you what Loetz glass is really all about and will help those who are buyers and collectors from being fooled by those who sell FAKES.
Loetz operated in Austria and was the premier glass works late 19th into the early 20thc.
It was founded by Johann Baptist Eiser in 1836 and was then taken over by other enterprizing owners.
Loetz glass is a dangerous ground if all the true facts are not know as there are copies abound also with copied signatures.Here i must point out that not all Loetz was signed and when signed it has a unique form.
I will not dally on whats already written by the experts so i refer you to the best and most informative site available....here we can experience the designs and designers, forms and shapes, colors, pictures, names of designs and a whole lot more.
Truly an exciting site...gohere
This piece pictured above is a genuine piece of Loetz, unsigned with a polished pontil mark. Its in the shop now.
