 My name is David Littlefield. My wife Gretchen and I began collecting art glass in 1999 and eventually ended up specializing in Czech and Bohemian art glass. I have come to know many other fellow collectors, including Dr. Alfredo Villanueva-Collado, a New York City Czech art glass collector and the author of several articles on this type of glass, and Mr. Eddy Scheepers of the Loetz.com website.
Recently my previous Loetz website was removed, as it was hosted by AOL and they no longer provide space, so I had to create a new one. This time I hope to make it easier to navigate by separating the glass by maker and decor.
All of the pieces on this site either are, or were, in my own collection. I'll try to update the site with new additions as they come in.
Attributions were made using the various books available and discussion with other Bohemian glass experts on the subject. Be aware that as new information becomes available, these attributions may change. For now, my primary reference books are Ricke's Lötz Böhmisches Glas 1880-1940 Band 1 and Band 2 (with line drawings), and the Passauer Glasmuseum Catalogs Das Böhmische Glas 1700-1950, Band IV, V, VI.
As a note, the boundaries in the part of Europe where this glass was manufactured occasionally changed, but the factories themselves remained in place. For this reason I will refer to the area as Bohemia.
