That year, the company took first prize at the Paris Exhibition for its classic vase forms, some of which were hand-worked and deformed into swirling, organic-looking shapes like seashells, flowers, and tree trunks. Decorative vases, cups, and pitchers were other popular forms in the Loetz lexicon, and many of the pieces practically glowed thanks to their iridescent sheen from the firing and reduction techniques that were popular at the time. For its contributions to the field, Loetz was awarded the grand prize at the Paris World Exhibition in 1900.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"m_-84324747873084676gmail-p4\"\u003eOne of the most beautiful and collectible Loetz series from this period is called Phänomen, whose chief characteristic is the rippled or feather like designs on the object’s surface. Loetz glass artisans achieved this unique effect by wrapping hot glass threads around an equally hot molten base. The threads were then pulled on the object’s surface to make waves and other designs while the materials were still malleable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"m_-84324747873084676gmail-p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"m_-84324747873084676gmail-s1\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"arial, helvetica, sans-serif\"\u003eThe company patented the Phänomen technique in 1898 and used it in combination with techniques pioneered by \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.tiffany.co.uk\/WorldOfTiffany\/TiffanyStory\/Design\/LouisComfortTiffany.aspx\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en-GB\u0026amp;q=http:\/\/www.tiffany.co.uk\/WorldOfTiffany\/TiffanyStory\/Design\/LouisComfortTiffany.aspx\u0026amp;source=gmail\u0026amp;ust=1526748373397000\u0026amp;usg=AFQjCNGDFjmwo8EYrwmeX4TnYbiQG5WGXA\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"m_-84324747873084676gmail-s2\"\u003eL.C.

Then after 1905, when interest in the florals waned, Loetz pushed its surface treatments further than ever while relying on shapes that had been with the company for decades. For example, the roiling surfaces of the Titania pieces pre-date Abstract Expressionism by three decades, at least. At the other end of the aesthetic spectrum, the Perlglas pieces were translucent, giving more weight to the forms as sculpture rather than distracting the viewer with dazzling surfaces.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"m_-84324747873084676gmail-p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"m_-84324747873084676gmail-s1\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"arial, helvetica, sans-serif\"\u003eThe last significant period for Loetz glass occurred between the wars.
