Description & Technical information
Executed by: Lötz Witwe Klostermühle, 1902
Décor: Cytisus, 1902
Excellent condition.
Vases with Cytisus décor (laburnum) are almost invariably representative of the glassworks’ most creative period. This colourful, particularly effective and interesting rhythmic décor - which is also closely related to contemporary Viennese painting (e.g. Klimt's Beethoven cycle from 1902) - was used almost exclusively on vessels with vividly undulating contours.
