Lötz/Loetz was founded in 1840 by Johann Lötz and was a company located in Bohemia that belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In 1879 a grandson of Lötz, Max Ritter-Von Spaun, took over the business from his grandmother and kept the name Joh. Lötz Witwe. From that moment, Johann Lötz Witwe really began to make a name for themselves; they developed new innovative glass techniques, but also their design and vivid colors were totally revolutionary. They designed distinctive shapes and vases, luxury items, which they sold in luxury shops in Vienna, Berlin, Hamburg, Paris, London, Milan, Brussels, and Madrid. It quickly made them very famous and renowned. It was the period when Art Nouveau flourished. They used organic forms, nature was their model, often the shapes were formed organically by bending hot glass with pliers to give uneven forms. Lötz participated in various World’s Fairs, including the famous 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris. They were awarded numerous prizes for their participation in world exhibitions. Their designs were popular, also in the United States. They were able to produce iridescent glass. In short, Lötz had become an institution. And that is still the case today. Lötz also worked closely with other glass manufacturers and with various artists, such as Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser, and other artists of the Wiener Werkstätte. In the twenties, tighter vases were produced, more in line with the Art Deco style of those years. Lötz survived until 1940; after a bombing, the factory was completely burned down. The glass of Lötz remains very popular and is collected worldwide, and their oeuvre is also found in many museum collections.
