Normal wear and tear due to use and the passage of time.Measurements: 22 cm (height) x 17 cm (largest diameter).Johann Loetz Witwe was the most important maker of artistic glass in Klostermühle, Bohemia. The works of Johann Loetz are among the most outstanding examples of Art Nouveau. One of the oldest glassworks was located in Wottawattal, which was bought in 1850 by Johann Loetz, the founder of the company and former owner of glassworks in Deffernik, Hurkental, Annatal and Vogelsang. In 1879, Max Ritter von Spaun, grandson of Johann Loetz, took over the factory from his grandmother and continued to run it under the old company name "Joh. Lötz Witwe". The factory had previously been equipped with an important milling workshop. It was here that heavily cut glass and perforated enamelled intermittent glass was manufactured. The company began producing coloured glass in the 1860s. Loetz glass has always been special because of its purity and fiery colours, and was initially purchased as raw glass by the North Bohemian refineries, which refined it by painting and polishing. Later, due to the high regard for glass, the company started the production of special luxury items. The company was the first to produce so-called baroque glass (objects with applied glass decorations) in Austria. Sample warehouses were located in Vienna, Berlin, Hamburg, Paris, London, Brussels, Milan and Madrid, which soon gave the products a worldwide reputation. The glass ingeniously imitated all kinds of onyx, jasper, carnelian, malachite, lapis lazuli, inlaid glass, etc. At the anniversary exhibition in 1888, the "Kaiser Franz Josefs Vase", designed by Hofrat Storck and produced by the Lötz company in Grauonyx, was presented. It was the largest blown glass vase ever made. Most of the world exhibitions were filled with the company's special products and received the highest awards.

ÉMILE GALLÉ (Nancy, France, 1846 - 1904).Art Nouveau vase; France, ca. 1900.Acid-etched cameo glass.Vase with an organic-inspired design, as was typical of the Art Nouveau period and the creations of Émile Gallé. It has a simple, prismatic structure with clean lines, which avoids interrupting the overall view of the decoration. It consists of leaves and branches with fruit in cameo glass in ochre, green and acid-etched brown.Signed on the side.Provenance: Private collection Spain, formed between 1970 and 2010.Good preservation. Wear and tear due to use and the passage of time.Measurements: 30 x 7,5 x 7 cm.Émile Gallé began his career working for his father, who owned a glass and ceramics factory, making designs with floral and heraldic motifs. Very interested in botany, he studied it in depth during his youth, alternating with drawing classes. Between 1862 and 1864, at his father's request, he travelled around Italy, England and Germany, taking an interest in the applied arts but also in subjects that he would later reflect in his works, such as music, philosophy and nature. On his return he settled in Meisenthal, where his family's glass furnaces were located, in order to fully learn the craft of glassmaking. He also travelled to London and Paris to see the collections of their museums. In 1874 he took over his father's factory and soon achieved great international success, winning prizes at international exhibitions and selling his works to important collections and museums. In 1878 he presented his first creations at the Universal Exhibition in Paris, many of which were inspired by the Japanese artists Hokusai (1760-1849) and Hokkei (1780-1856). In this important exhibition, Gallé discovered three techniques that were to prove decisive for his production: the remarques of the Pantin Glassworks, the cameo engraved glass of the English (inspired by the Portland Glass in the British Museum) and the superimposition of layers of different coloured glass presented by Eugène Rousseau. Émile Gallé was undoubtedly a man fully representative of his time. He was a poet, an artist par excellence, capable of translating his emotions and desires into matter, someone who found in the alchemy of glass, in its light, in its nuances, a form of language. Because of this talent and his mastery, his glassworks became the most famous in France around 1900. He was also the founder and president of the Nancy School, whose principles he always followed. He introduced into his pieces all kinds of experimental and innovative techniques, as well as some traditional ones. One of these was the introduction of metal sheets between the different layers of glass, thus enhancing the magical effect of his most exclusive pieces. As far as possible, Gallé imposed the characteristics of a style that evolved into free and refined expressions, applying an enormous variety of themes and decorative techniques on opaque and coloured glass, which continue to amaze to this day. Today, pieces by Émile Gallé can be seen in the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg, the Metropolitan Museum in New York, the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, the Brohan Museum in Berlin and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, among many others.

Provenance: Private Spanish collection, formed between 1970 and 2010.Good condition. Normal wear and tear due to use and the passage of time.Measurements: 27.5 cm (height) x 23 cm (largest diameter).Johann Loetz Witwe was the most important maker of artistic glass in Klostermühle, Bohemia. The works of Johann Loetz are among the most outstanding examples of Art Nouveau. One of the oldest glassworks was located in Wottawattal, which was bought in 1850 by Johann Loetz, the founder of the company and former owner of glassworks in Deffernik, Hurkental, Annatal and Vogelsang. In 1879, Max Ritter von Spaun, grandson of Johann Loetz, took over the factory from his grandmother and continued to run it under the old company name "Joh. Lötz Witwe". The factory had previously been equipped with an important milling workshop. It was here that heavily cut glass and perforated enamelled intermittent glass was manufactured. The company began producing coloured glass in the 1860s. Loetz glass has always been special because of its purity and fiery colours, and was initially purchased as raw glass by the North Bohemian refineries, which refined it by painting and polishing. Later, due to the high regard for glass, the company started the production of special luxury items. The company was the first to produce so-called baroque glass (objects with applied glass decorations) in Austria. Sample warehouses were located in Vienna, Berlin, Hamburg, Paris, London, Brussels, Milan and Madrid, which soon gave the products a worldwide reputation. The glass ingeniously imitated all types of onyx, jasper, carnelian, malachite, lapis lazuli, inlaid glass, etc. At the anniversary exhibition in 1888, the "Kaiser Franz Josefs Vase", designed by Hofrat Storck and produced by the Lötz company in Grauonyx, was presented. It was the largest blown glass vase ever made. Most of the world exhibitions were filled with the company's special products and received the highest distinctions.

DAUM. Nancy, France, ca.1900.Art Nouveau vase.Acid-etched cameo glass.Daum-Nancy Art Nouveau vase, in cameo blown glass of conical form with circular base and mouth. Acid-etched decoration of plant forms in yellow, black and blue.Signed "Daum Nancy, France" and cross of Lorraine.Provenance: Spanish private collection, formed between 1970 and 2010.Good condition Normal wear and tear due to use and the passage of time.Measurements: 39.5 cm (height) x 14 cm (largest diameter).The Daum manufacture was founded at the end of the 19th century by Augustin Daum (1853-1909), from a small family glassworks in Nancy. He was joined by his brother Antonin (1864-1931), and the Daum workshops soon became a meeting and training place for many young artists, who gave impetus to the Art Nouveau style in Nancy. At first they made ordinary glass, but in 1891 they decided to open a decorative workshop and to embark on artistic production, probably as a result of the success of Émile Gallé (1846-1904) at the 1889 Exhibition. During the First World War, the factory closed, but resumed production after the war, adapting to the change in aesthetics and leaving behind the modernism of its first period. During the Art Nouveau period, most of Daum's pieces were made of acid-etched cameo glass, but with the new Art Deco style, new techniques and decorative styles were investigated.

Jugendstil PALLME-KÖNIG vase. Bohemia, Czechoslovakia, ca. 1900.Iridescent blown glass.An iridescent blown glass vase from the Austrian manufactory of Pallme-König. In the form of an amphora with a circular mouth. Veined decoration in metallic and white tones on an iridescent purple background. Provenance: Private Spanish collection, formed between 1970 and 2010.Good condition. Normal wear and tear due to use and the passage of time.Measurements: 15 cm (height) x 6 cm (largest diameter).Of the glass produced in the Czechoslovak Art Nouveau period, perhaps the most distinctive, and most frequently imitated by others, is that of the firm Pallme-König. In 1888, Josef and Theodor Pallme-König founded their glass factory, under the name Elizabethhütte, in honour of their mother. Although this was always the official name, the factory is better known as Pallme-König. Around 1900, Wilhelm Hable, co-owner of the factory, patented the technique that would make them famous, which can be seen in this vase. It is a process for producing glass decorated on its surface in a special way, with glass threads encircling the piece. This technique eventually became known as spun glass, and was in common use in virtually all Bohemian modernist glass factories, such as Loetz or Kralik. The personal trademark of Pallme-König production is based on the maximum exploitation of the possibilities of glass. Pallme-König pieces are kept in important museums specialising in Art Nouveau, such as the Brohan Museum in Berlin, the Passau Museum in Passau, also in Germany, and the Corning Museum in the United States.This lot can be seen in the SetdartBarcelona Gallery located at C/Aragón, 346
