Bio:
Johann Lötz Witwe was among the most important makers of Art Nouveau art glass in Bohemia around 1900. The workshop is particularly recognised for sophisticated iridescent finishes and organic decorative effects that exploit depth, light, and shifting colour. Vases from this period were often conceived as sculptural objects, where form and surface work together to create a distinctly period expression.
