In the 1888 anniversary exhibition, the Kaiser Franz Josefs Vase, designed by Hofrat Storck and produced by the Lötz company in grey onyx, was unveiled. It was the largest vase that had been blown from glass until then. The company's special products were also presented at most world exhibitions and received the highest awards, including the 1889 Grand Prix Paris, 1888 Prix de Progrès and Honorary Diploma Brussels, as well as honorary diplomas from Vienna, Munich, Antwerp, Chicago, and San Francisco.

Bakalowits Söhne in Vienna and with the Argentor plants. Well-known artists with whom he worked were Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser, and the Wiener Werkstätte. The peak of the cooperation happened after 1900. The company was represented and won awards at the Paris World's Fair, and in the Chicago and St. Louis fairs.
