Turn of the Century Stunning ART NOUVEAU Teacup:
Black (amethyst?) shiny glass w/ interconnected webbing of
silver
overlay; smooth pontil; marked: "Sterling" on outer silver
handle; ornate
decorative floral / leaf motif ( a la Morris); I have researched this
extensively & strongly suspect this is an unsigned Austrian /
LOETZ
piece as it is especially kindred to the smaller Loetz vases in
sensibility
- however - no official maker's mark has been detected
(although there
could be one that i've missed in all the intricate detailing);
Exquisite - in
pristine VINTAGE MINT condition - have never seen another like
it.
Cup has 2.25" wide circular opening & is 2.25" tall;
"Ear" handle is 2 3/8" tall & extends 5/8" out from side of cup.
