LOETZ  CATTAIL BLUE IRIDESCENT/BUBBLE MARKED VASE!
Stunningly Beautiful Marked REAL "LOETZ" Czecho-Slovakia Blue Iridescent Cattail on Verrie deSoie Bubble Glass Body. This item measures 7 1/8" X 4 3/4". This item is marked on the base in the Blue Iridescent Finish a square and the words MADE IN CZECHO-SLOVAKIA. To see this mark please view the wonderful Eddie Scheepers Web Site at www.loetz.com and go to second page of Identifying, top of page second mark. The lower section of this item along with the applied Glass Cattails and Leaves are covered in a very dark and richly iridescent Blue Finish, while the body of the vase is of a controlle trapped Air Bubble Glass which is finished in a satin White iridescent finish much like that produced at Steuben and called Verrie deSoie (Glass of Silk) which it truly is. This item has a restoration to the section with the Cattail, which appears to have been re-applied to the vase and a small Blue Bead has been added to hide a small piece of missing glass. This was a very ingenious solution to its restoration, as well as having a few scratches to the glass next to the Cattail. This is not too noticeable until very closely viewed. I am sure that a proper restoration can conceal this completely and make it invisible to the naked eye. This is a great chance to own an item that would normally sell for well over $1,500.00++ if you were lucky enough to find one. This item is an original Blown and Cut from the top, also known as a Sheer top, without any restorations or chips to the top rim or Blue applied foot. No other damage, cracks etc. Shipping is $11.00 in the Continental U.S.
