Like many other Loetz décors, Cytisus draws inspiration from the Viennese Secessionist art movement around 1900, known for its deliberate use of gold accents in both painting and architecture. This vase captivates with its clear, modern design language. Particularly noteworthy is the extraordinary color combination of fresh spring green (Maigrün) and elegantly drawn threads of imperial red (Kaiserrot). Intensely reflective silver speckles dance across the surface, merging with the mesmerizing iridescence to create a vibrant, one-of-a-kind play of color. See less
