Bakalowits sohne, decor olympia, ca. 1901 this handle vase captivates with its simple and at the same time elegant shape. Like the stem of a flower protruding from its bulb, the narrow neck of the vase grows upwards and is crowned by the handle-shaped curved opening. The design was created by robert holubetz, one of koloman moser’s most talented students at the vienna school of applied arts, who designed the vase in 1901 on behalf of the glass publisher e. Bakalowits söhne. The particularly harmonious ornamental vessel was executed by the loetz glassworks in various sizes and with different decorative variants. Bib.: comp. Decor in j. Mergl, e.
