LOETZ IRIDESCENT GLASSThe Art Nouveau period was the golden age for Loetz glass and it was the founder’s grandson, Max Ritter von Spaun, who guided the firm both financially and artistically through its most successful period. It was Spaun who pushed through the development of iridescence and he took out patents in 1895 and 1898 for metallic lustres and colours. Loetz was awarded a Grand Prix at the Paris Universal Exhibition in 1900.“Loetz glass was sometimes used with silver, bronze and other metal mounts. Czar Nicholas II had Loetz glass lamps mounted in silver by Fabergé for use on his yacht” “The iridescence of Loetz vases is extremely rich, and their colours sumptuous. They used golds, greens, peacock and royal blue, turquoise, pinks, browns and reds.” Victor Arwas, Glass Art Nouveau to Art Deco, London 1977, p.149
