Since the introduction of Loetz.com in 1999, newly pubished archival information made much of the information on the old 1999 site out of date. Knowing that information on the old site was not being updated or maintained, the URL was purchased from the previous owner and a new "Loetz.com" was created in 2013. The beauty of a website is that one can be flexible and add or change information as new documentation from the Loetz archives and the collecting community unfolds. By comparing examples, shapes and colors from documented sources and applying the information from our Loetz photo library, that currently contains over 36,000 photos, as well as engaging in discussions with other collectors, the Loetz Adviory group has continually uncovered and made new decor discoveries. To date over 150 new decors have been added to this website since 2013. You can find a list of these "Newly Identified Decors" here.
We hope you enjoy this site and find it a valuable resource for identifying and collecting Loetz art glass.
