In the course of researching the literature for this website we have been able to identify photographic examples of many décors which have until now only been known from written sources*. In some cases "known" decors such as Mimosa, which was discovered by Eddy Scheepers several years ago, or decors such as Ausf 38 & Ausf 56, Ausf 80, etc,. which have been updated to include newly documented shapes and/or colors, have been included here to connect the collector to an updated documentation of these decors. Clicking on the décor below will bring you to the décor description in the Décors Index, along with photos of the décor and, where known, production numbers. In cases where the décors were identified (connecting photos with shapes and decor documentation) by members of the Loetz Advisory Group or friends and colleagues in the Loetz community, their names are cited as appropriate with the decor description.
