Additional Information : Loetz produced cameo glass under the name ‘Richard’ in the 1920’s to satisfy demand for French cameo glass in the Parisian market. The French company Etling sold Richard cameo glass in Paris in the 1920’s. Richard was a retail outlet in Paris owned by Edmond Etling. Etling commissioned Loetz to create French style cameo glass that they could sell in their Richard boutique. Therefore all pieces to be sold in the boutique have the Richard signature.
