This extraordinary Solifleur vase by Loetz looks surrealistic. At the bottom of blue roots rises cylindrically the orange trunk, which has been covered with a transparent glass, from which countless striped and sometimes drop-like formations rise. Maybe you can also use the vase as a candle holder.
There are four blue hooks on the sides.
A very special piece and very rare artistic glass. A great collector's object.
