LOETZ, SCHAUMGLAS, EDUARD PROCHASKA TECHIQUE, FOAM GLASS, HTF~~~

Description: For Auction is a lovely Vase made by Loetz Klostermuehle of Bohemia which is now the modern day Czech Republic. The Pattern is called "Schaumglas" and the shape is a tapered flaring form. The Vase stands 4 1/8" tall and 6 5/8" in diameter and the foot has a diameter of 2 1/2". The Vase displays a tapered flaring shape. It starts out wide at the mouth and then comes in and tapers down to a small foot. The foot is formed from this single piece of glass and is part of the main vase. The body of the vase is a clear base glass and it is decorated the white foam strands and very small bubbles encased. This was known as the 'Schaumglas' or foam-glass technique. The rarity of the piece comes from the applied iridescent rods and threads of glass with the pad molded base that are techniques of Eduard Prochaska from thirty years earlier. It was made with a body of glass with color (usually white, red or black inclusion) with trapped air bubbles in the décor ~ multiple bubbles as in foam. These vases have proven to be hard finds through all my years of collecting art glass. I have only seen a few examples in different colors. This decor is also similar to WMF's Ikora style of Art Glass. I can find the Ikora glass with much ease but not the Loetz Schaumglas. The Vase is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. The Vase is not signed but it does have a wonderful nicely rolled and fire polished top rim and countersink polished pontil. This the mark of a quality piece of Art Glass. The piece is unsigned and more than likely had a paper or foil label at one time. If you collect Art Glass by Loetz and want a different example than you normally see, this one is for you. This is a quality piece of art glass and I'm sure the buyer will not be disappointed. This vase was made late in Loetz's production circa 1935. PLEASE READ BELOW I want to apologize for slowing down my shipping time. Ebay forced me into managed payments in July of this year 2020. I used to get my money in 24 hours. I now get it in 3-4 business days. I was told it would be better for me and my fees would go down. This has been the opposite as my fees have actually increased and now it takes longer for me to receive the payments. Because of this slowdown I will not ship until the payment has made it into my bank account. No store lets you out of the building with the merchandise unless it is paid for. They are also now charging all sellers a commission of 11.7% on sales tax. Pay Pal used to charge 2.9% payment processing fee but Ebay has changed this to 11.7%. This is an increase of 8.8% on the sales tax portion. They are now making a profit on the sales tax and treating it as a sale which in my eyes is wrong!! They did the same on the shipping charges several years ago. They use to not charge anything and now they are charging 11.7% commission on shipping as well. This has raised the cost to ship items to you, the buyer and this is factored into my shipping charges. If you feel what Ebay is doing is wrong or you don't agree them please contact Ebay and voice your opinion. Maybe if enough of you do this, they will change their policy.
