Description
Hi Moser Glassworks, founded in 1857 by Ludwig Moser in Karlsbad (now Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic), became renowned for its high-quality, hand-blown and cut crystal. The company gained international acclaim for its innovative designs and luxurious finishes, often incorporating intricate gold decorations and vibrant colors. Moser pieces were favored by royalty and the elite, solidifying its reputation as a premier glass manufacturer.
The ‘Splendid’ pattern, particularly with gold embellishments, exemplifies Moser’s commitment to opulent artistry. This goblet features a finely detailed gold band around the rim, likely applied using advanced gilding techniques of the era, and a textured or cut body that enhances light refraction. The faceted stem and base further contribute to its elegant and sophisticated appearance, characteristic of fine Bohemian crystal.
