Description
Technical

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.
