LOETZ ART NOUVEAU GLASS VASE WITH SILVER OVERLAY
£2,900
Art Nouveau Loetz glass vase, in the New Red Cytisus decor, with silver overlay decoration.
Stamps to silver, showing that this was overlaid in the USA by the Alvin Silver Co. Gorham, LaPierre, and Alvin, were USA companies that would buy the glass vases from Loetz and overlay themselves. This vase also has a '999/1000 fine' mark which indicates the purity of silver used to overlay the glass. 106 is presumably a pattern number.
