 Loetz Creta Chiné
One of the more common colors offered by Loetz was the Creta, or Crete Green. Chiné refers to the fine threaded decoration added to it.
 Loetz Creta Chiné Series 1 Prod. Nr. 6978  Creta Silberiris Diaspora
Silberiris refers to the addition of a highly iridescent finish, either silver, pale blue, or a deeper blue as seen in this Diaspora. Diasporas have a deeply cratered surface. Kralik also made a type of diaspora, but their craters tended to be shallower, and often showed mold lines on the pieces.
