"The Present
Trend in Decorative Designing" singles out Manz's display case at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art Eighth Annual industrial Arts Exhibit. In her
review, Isabelle M. Archer writes:
"A very
different handling is shown in the jewels with gold mounts by
Gustav Manz. Here the forms and decoration follow very distinctly the
Oriental type. The seated Buddah(sic) makes the motif in the pendant
of gold whoseoverlapping carved jade wings open to show this gold
carving beneath. There is also a lattice and jade pendant with an added
lattice drop and the illustration shows also a silver pendant, hand-carved
and mounted again in lattice and jade; pearls and pink beryls are
added to the jade color in other of these gold jewels, and the whole group
shows a most remarkable color scheme."
