My goal is to publish new posts twice a week — Mondays and Thursdays. However, if you don’t see a new post on Thursday, it’s because I was too busy, so please look for a new one the following Monday.
Beautiful Loetz decorated vase, Quinn lot #156
Quinn’s Auction Galleries held a Fine & Decorative Arts auction on May 17, 2014. Included in the sale was a lovely unsigned, decorated, Loetz vase with silver overlay decoration. It was sold as lot #156 of 575. Interest was high, allowing it to fly past its estimate of $800 – $1,200 to sell for $10,030, including buyer’s premium. The pretty, Art Nouveau, silver overlay only added to its appeal.

Bonnie, I don’t have an email list. If you like my blog, I post a new one every Monday and many Thursdays. Best. Philip
I really enjoy your blog Philip. In fact Loetz only signed from 1898 to 1903 and even at this time it is not clear yet which criteria had to be met for a vase to be signed. Most of the more precious objects were signed, for example the pieces from the Paris World Exhibition 1900. Best wishes from an Austrian colleague.
Thanks for your kind comments, Nikolaus. It’s good information you’ve given me, and curious. Why did they stop signing in 1903?
