Bio:
Johann Loetz Witwe was founded in 1836 by Johann Eisner in Klostermühle in southern Bohemia, now part of the Czech Republic. In 1851 the glassworks was acquired by Susanne Loetz, widow of Johann Loetz, together with her husband Frank Gerstner, and she further developed the company significantly. Under the direction of Maximilian von Spaun, the factory gained international recognition around 1900 for its iridescent art nouveau glass, including the celebrated Phänomen series, which won Grand Prix awards in Paris in 1900 and St. Louis in 1904. Despite financial difficulties and several fires, production continued into the twentieth century before the glassworks finally closed in 1947.
