Vases with Cytisus decoration (golden rain) are evidence of the most creative era of the glassworks. This colourful and interesting decor - which is also close to contemporary Viennese painting (e.g. Klimt's Beethoven cycle from 1902) - was used almost exclusively on vessels with vividly wavy contours. (Ricke/Ploil, Lötz, 1989, p. 153)
