Gorgeous Art Nouveau Loetz sterling-overlay cased glass vase.
Circa 1900.
An exquisite example of turn-of-the-century Viennese glass and metalwork, this vase pairs Loetz’s iridescent cased glass with a finely worked sterling overlay. The form and surface treatment are characteristic of the Art Nouveau movement—organic lines, flowing stylized botanical motifs, and a graceful silhouette. The sterling overlay is precisely cut and applied, providing a striking contrast to the luminous inner glass while protecting and accenting the decoration.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition for its age with no chips, cracks, or restoration evident in the glass. The sterling overlay displays expected surface age and light wear consistent with handling and display; no significant dents or losses. Measures 5 1/8" (13 cm) tall.
A refined example that will complement any collection of Art Nouveau glass or serve as a stand-alone showpiece. Ideal for the collector seeking authentic turn-of-the-century craftsmanship and aesthetic elegance.
