- Sobre arteIntroducing a rare and captivating piece by Johann Loetz Witwe, featuring the exceptionally rare Zebra decor, designed by the renowned Koloman Moser in 1903 for E. Bakalowits, Vienna. This exquisite vase/cup is a true testament to the artistic brilliance and innovative craftsmanship of the early 20th century.
The Zebra decor is a distinctive and highly sought-after pattern, characterized by its striking black and white or contrasting dark and light bands that mimic the natural beauty of zebra stripes. The intricate glasswork and iridescent finish highlight the exceptional skill and artistry of Loetz glassmakers.
Koloman Moser, a pivotal figure in the Vienna Secession movement, designed the Zebra decor in 1903. Moser was instrumental in shaping modern design, blending artistic creativity with functional elegance. His work in 1903 was marked by groundbreaking designs that pushed the boundaries of traditional decorative arts.
This vase/cup is not just a decorative item but a piece of history. In 1903, Moser’s designs were revolutionizing interiors, moving towards modern, geometric styles that emphasized simplicity and elegance. His collaboration with Loetz and E. Bakalowits resulted in pieces that were both artistic and commercially successful, appealing to the discerning tastes of the time.
Koloman Moser (1868-1918) was one of the foremost designers of the Vienna Secession, a movement that sought to break away from the historical emphasis on traditional styles. In 1903, Moser was at the height of his career, creating innovative designs that were both functional and aesthetically pleasing. His work during this period included not only glassware but also furniture, textiles, and entire interior designs, showcasing his versatile talent and visionary approach.
This vase/cup, with its Zebra decor, is an excellent addition to any modern interior. Its bold pattern and elegant form make it a striking centerpiece, whether displayed on its own or as part of a collection. The piece reflects the transition towards modern design principles that Moser championed, making it both a timeless and contemporary artifact.

A vidraria Loetz existiu em Klostermuhle, Áustria, por pouco mais de cem anos, começando em 1840. Mas seu apogeu foi durante a vida de Max Ritter Von Spaun, neto do original Johann Loetz que fundou a empresa.
Von Spaun assumiu a empresa em 1879 e a dirigiu até 1908, um ano antes de sua morte. Ele foi auxiliado por Eduard Prochaska, seu especialista técnico, e juntos eles inventaram, projetaram e produziram uma série de novos e maravilhosos tipos de vidro, tirando várias patentes e ganhando prêmios em todas as maiores exposições mundiais durante a década de 1890 e os primeiros anos de o novo século.
A empresa Loetz estava entre os líderes em design Art Nouveau e especialmente em vidro de arte irridescente. O vidro "Papillon", como o vaso à esquerda, é às vezes conhecido hoje como vidro "manchado de óleo". Outro colorante favorito de Loetz era o vidro irradiado com trilhas puxadas, chamado de vidro "Fenômeno".
Havia vasos irritados com fitas de cores metálicas enroladas na superfície, e muitos desenhos espetaculares com rastros aplicados de belas cores, ou simplesmente puxados para fora do corpo do vidro para formar alças ou decoração.
Por volta de 1900, a empresa começou a colaborar com designers externos, e alguns grandes artistas criaram peças para Lotz, notavelmente Joseph Hofmann, Koloman Moser, Maria Kirchner e Hofstatter.
Em 1908, Loetz foi adquirido pelo filho de Max Von Spaun, também chamado de Max, e embora tivesse dificuldades financeiras (indo à falência em 1911 e novamente em 1931), havia vários grandes designers cujo trabalho foi produzido por Loetz durante aqueles anos e através da arte período deco. Entre eles, Adolf Beckert e Michael Powolny.
