Welcome To The Antique Cabinet For your consideration is a wonderful and rare Sterling Silver Overlay Fritz Heckert Art Glass Vase designed By Otto Thamm, circa 1902.Founded in 1866 in Warmbrunn or Petersdorf, Fritz Heckert Glass Works was a contemporary to some of the other great glass makers of the period such as Tiffany, Loetz, Moser, Poschinger, etc.Otto Thamm was born in 1860 and married into the Heckert family in 1891. He soon became their managing director but unfortunately died around 1905. Amazingly, Otto was almost never known and if not for the recent discovery of a design book in an old archive of a different glassworks, it’s very likely no one would have ever known much about Otto and his amazing creations. His first significant designs started appearing in the mid-1890s, mostly at this stage continuing Heckert’s tradition of fine enameling on other makers blanks. Somewhere at this time, Fritz Heckert acquired the capability to make their own glass in which Otto started his own designs of amazing Art Nouveau or Jugendstil art glass which could certainly rival any other makers of the period. Otto only survived 5 years into this new style production, dying at the young age of 45 which makes one wonder what he could have achieved with more time.This is really an extraordinary example of his work – the pictures can express its beauty far better than any words we can convey. The vase does have a polished pontil on the bottom side, no signature was detected which is common for this glass. It is further enhanced with a sterling silver overlay executed in an Art Deco design. From different resources throughout the years, it is our understanding that Art Glass from this period and region with overlay presented in a geometric design is somewhat rare and was mostly executed in Europe as the Art Nouveau designs which were more commonly done in the US. The silver is monogrammed on the front upper end “MEMPHIS ‘05 L L J”, it would be interesting to know the story behind the monogram. The vase measures approx. 5” tall by 5 wide handle to handle. The glass is in Excellent condition, free of any chips cracks or repairs and very minimal wear. The sterling is in great condition showing light age related wear and tarnish.An Outstanding Piece Of Antique Art Glass! – – – – – – – – -We at the Antique Cabinet strive for 5 stars and want you to be delighted with your purchase.
