Loetz Astraea pattern vase, has that "oil spot" look to the glass, in double gourd shape or baluster form and candia color. Wonderful Iridescence, beautiful purple and blue flashes throughout. The vase has a polished top as all examples we have seen of this vase has and remains standard for this vase shape, it is unsigned, circa early 1900's. Fantastic Art Nouveau Glass!
Measurements stands approx. 6" tall.
Condition: No breaks or cracks, a small "ping" mark on the side of the vase original to the manufacturing, a nick to the interior of the neck, a very close picture is provided.
Great piece of Austrian Glass you can view a documented example of this piece on the Loetz.com website.
Similar example recently featured on Antiques Roadshow, their estimate was nearly twice the price as we have offered, ours has been discounted to account for the couple of small imperfections.
