Moser Glass
Moser Glass Founded in 1857, Moser boasts a long tradition of superior artistic and technical standards in lead-free crystal. The quality of the crystal and perfection of Moser's hand cutting, engraving, gilding and brilliant colors are unsurpassed by any contemporary glass or crystal company in the world.

Created by Ludwig Moser & Sons, the line originated as an engraving studio in the spa town of Karlsbad, located in Bohemia (now the Czech Republic), a region with deep roots in superior glass-making. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Moser developed its now famous technically perfect crystal production, employing a unique formula for producing a substance as hard as rock and as brilliant as lead crystal - but without using a trace of lead. This composition is very suitable for Moser's marvelous engravings, is ecologically sound and remains free of all concerns associated with lead.

Moser's innovative techniques in cutting, engraving and coloring quickly won the line great acclaim at many prestigious international art exhibitions. Soon Moser became the proud possession of royalty, heads of state and well-known personalities throughout the world, an esteemed reputation that has held fast and continues to grow now in the 21st century

Bar Bowls
The Bar Bowl Collection

The pattern is attributed to Rudolf Eschler and was first produced in 1934. "Ice bottom" is the name given to the square cut base to describe its rich proportions.

Cube Paperweights

Drift Bud Vases
An exciting new pattern from Moser: sharp edges and cuts mimic the overlapping sheets of ice known as drift ice. The pattern is created using an "off-hand" cutting process whereby there is a uniform stopping point on the crystal but the actual placement of the design varies by the cutter. As a result, each cutter leaves behind his own "handwriting" and the subtle variations render each piece a unique, handcrafted work of art.

The Eternity Vase

Flying Decanter Set Topaz
The Flying Decanter Set

Re-released from the Moser Archives, the Flying Decanter Set was designed by artist Alexandr Pfohl circa 1931. This set embodies the design style "Streamline". The Industrial Age spawned new modes of transportation - automobiles, trains, ships and airplanes - that reflected the "new beauty" of machine and speed. The style was called Streamline and it eventually moved from machines (such as Walter Chrysler's "Airflow" automobile and the "20th Century Limited" Train by Henry Dreyfuss) to practical objects and products.

Also available in Clear.

The Four Seasons Vase Collection

Combining strong form with subtle color gradations, artist Jiri Suhajek masterfully brings together the best elements of the Moser tradition.

Lady Hamilton Stemware
The Lady Hamiliton Collection

This pattern is another example of the "papal" cut so called because it is a derivative of the Pope pattern which was commissioned by Pope Pius XI in 1923. Lady Hamilton itself was first produced in 1934 and went on to become one of the most popular Moser suites.

As pictured, available with or without etched gold band.

Following the King's death, the pattern was released and subsequently purchased by the Royal House of Norway and the United Nations among many other royal courts and governments

The shot glass set features 8 different glasses each from a different Moser stemware pattern
