[QUOTE="Marie Forjan, post: 188022, member: 147"]I heard back from the Loetz collector site, it seems they are connected with the Facebook page but are reluctant to weigh in when they don't know if the person asking is a dealer looking for an ID, they prefer to help collectors. I told them I am a collector, and by the time I emailed them I had decided this puppy is staying with me. I may never come across anything so beautiful so it has a home in my hutch and is the queen of my meager collection :happy: Anyway, this is what they had to say... the vase is definitely Loetz. Orders for Loetz pieces were placed by jewelers and they applied the silver overlay, so that is why it was done by an American company. They also feel the "MF 1909" engraved on the silver represent the initials of the person who originally acquired this piece or who ordered it for a gift. They are not 100% positive, but they think the decor (the name for the glass and its finish) may be Delphi. Whatever it is I will print out their email, tuck it inside and enjoy looking at this wonderful piece every day. Thank you everyone for your ideas and input![/QUOTE]
