Loetz green glass jug, Neptun pattern, early C20th
An iridescent green glass jug of plain form, the globular body below a wide cylindrical neck with a short curved spout and opposite an angular loop handle, the whole with a modelled design of repeating stylised leaf forms, often held to be seaweed. This well known design is from the ‘Neptun’ range produced by the celebrated Bohemian glassmakers, Loetz. A variety of shapes were produced of which this small pitcher is perhaps the most pleasing. The pattern was first produced in 1903 and this jug doubtless dates to the early years of the twentieth century.The Loetz glass factory has its origins in the nineteenth century, when the widow of Johann Lötz, Susanna, remarried after his death in 1844 and with her new husband bought in 1851 the glassworks firm Klastersky Mlyn which was henceforth named Johann Lötz Witwe (the widow of Johann Lötz). The factory was situated at Klostermühle (Klášterský Mlýn, now part of Rejštejn) in southwestern Bohemia, Austria-Hungary and then Czechoslovakia. Johann’s grandson, Max Ritter von Spaun took over the business from his grandmother in 1879 and continued to run it under the old company name, ‘Joh. Lötz Witwe’, which was later changed to ‘Lötz’ and around 1900 changed again to the anglicised version of this ‘Loetz’. Around this time, the firm began producing the range of iridescent lustre finish glass in the Art Nouveau style for which they are now so famous. Production continued until the closure of the factory in 1947.
