Description
An exquisite example of German mid-century art glass, this turquoise-blue vase was designed by Heinrich Löffelhardt for Schott Zwiesel during the 1960s. The sculptural bowl form showcases the maker’s distinctive stag lozenge emblem, marking it as part of Schott Zwiesel’s highly regarded production from this era.
The vibrant glass captures light beautifully, with dark inclusions and trapped air bubbles creating organic texture and visual depth that shifts as the light moves across its surface. This interplay of transparency and opacity exemplifies the experimental spirit of German studio glass from the period.
