Featured A 14 1/4" Richard

OK, now that I have your attention.....

This is a Richard cameo vase ca. 1925. It is 14 1/2" tall and 4 3/4" wide at the base. The color is mostly maroon with a green band around the top.

From what I can tell these were made by Loetz, commissioned by Jouivre Company and sold through through the Etling Company, both of Paris.

Just got this at an estate auction in mid Missouri, U.S.

My question is...I know we don't do valuations, but would a replacement value of $1K be realistic for this?

 

This one signed by Richard sold for $400 at auction in 2017

Another signed by Richard, not very similar, for $375 at auction. Shorter than yours. https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/55573293_richard-manufactured-by-loetz-flowering-vine-vase

 

Here is one sold at auction for $1200 in 2013. Not the same shape or size but by Richard

Good job Kiko! $ seems to depend on height with these vases....

 

Here is the search because there are others. The first one is the only one very similar to your vase but had a chip in the rim.

Awesome...

 

I vant your vase

 

Thanks for all your help. You've pretty much got it sewn up already!!

 

I don't say this as a judgment on your vase but something to keep in mind, I believe that Richard is one of the "repro/fake" marked vases showing up.

 

Here is an article that might help in determining the authenticity. Its not my area of expertise I just like glass. https://www.loetz.com/identifying-loetz-glass/loetz-signatures-and-marks-after-1918

 

Good information! Thanks for taking the time to help me investigate my vase. I feel pretty good about the authenticity, but the replacement value may not be as much as I thought; maybe more like $600-$800.

 

It's the joy it gives you and it is a marvelous piece. I love the color graduations and the elegance of the leaves.

 

Much joy! I like to think of walking into some small store in Paris 100 years ago and seeing these brand new on the shelf. What quality!
