Set of two Bohemian Art Deco "Tango" vases – orange with black rim – ca. 1920–1930 (attributed to Loetz Witwe. / Michael Powolny). Highly decorative pair of glass vases in a vibrant, warm orange. The vases have an elegant, sculptural silhouette with stacked spherical shapes and a flared tulip-shaped neck. The rim is finished with a dark violet/black-appearing glass wire (applied rim wire), which enhances the typical "Tango" contrast.
The glass is mouth-blown and a true statement piece for an Art Deco, modern, or eclectic interior—also beautiful as separate objects from flowers.
Attribution: Bohemia, ca. 1920–1930 (around 1925), attributed to Loetz Witwe, possibly designed by Michael Powolny (common with Tango glass; no visible signature found—see photos).
