Rare Pair Loetz "Rubin Matte Iris" Floral Enameled Iridescent Art Glass Vases

Description

Pair of Fine Antique Loetz "Rubin Matte Iris" Hand Painted Floral Enameled Overlay Iridescent Hand Blown Art Glass Vases ca. 1898
A creation by Loetz Klostermuehle of Austria, these lovely vases are rare and highly collectible. Superbly hand crafted and hand blown from ruby ground glass with a metallic-bronze iridescent finish (iris) with stunning deep rich amethyst purple highlights, which shades into  glimmering gold and rainbow hues at the base, hand painted beautiful floral design and gilded accents. In Loetz terminology these magnificent vases are known as "Rubin Matte Iris" or "Rubin Metall", a well documented décor on the Loetz website.
These are considered to be in overall excellent, mint condition, as there are no cracks, chips, fleabites or restorations. The vases each measure approximately 4" in height. The photos do not do these justice, these are stunning and definitely some of the finest Loetz vases I have come across.
If you are a collector of Bohemian Art Nouveau period art glass, you will not be disappointed with this fantastic set.
