How the Aura collection is made

The effect comes from the tri-coloured glass cores. To create each core, the glassmakers gather three portions of coloured molten glass on a blowpipe and form them into prepared glass elements known in the glassworks as "šišky" (pine cones). These are brought evenly up to the working temperature in the furnace overnight, then wound together and reheated until fused. Only then can the final form take shape. The entire process is a form of alchemy where the individual colours must come together with perfect timing.

Step behind the scenes with us to see how the new Aura Collection is made. We will guide you through the glassworks, step by step, and show you how this exceptional collection takes shape and why its production is so demanding. The hot shop is the heart of every glassworks. This is where it all begins, at the glass furnaces. The glassmakers gather the glowing molten glass on their blowpipes, then before blowingblow and shaping it with their own breath intoand shape it in hand-carved wooden moulds.

The glass cutters work on pieces weighing up to twelve kilograms. The craft’s technical demands and the complexity  of the craft limit production of thethe matte collection to only twelve pieces of each type produced per year.

The boldly cut facets evoke the angular structures of ice.
Each piece undergoes a total of three careful quality inspections before it reaches the customer. The matte collection is so demanding challenging to make that each piece passes through up to 31 pairs of hands before it’s ready for dispatch from our warehouse in Karlovy Vary. Each piece in the Aura drinkware collection passes through up to 25 pairs of hands during production.

The polished Aura vases capture the atmosphere of an Arctic night. The colour moves through the crystal in a gradual transition from greenish tones at the base to deep blue at the top, like the light of the aurora slowly spreading across a dark northern sky. The boldly cut facets evoke angular structures of ice.

Moser developed the a new glass colour, Carnelian, specifically for the collection of matte vases and bowls. It takes bears the same name and warm orange tones as the gemstone itself.its name and its warm orange tones from the gemstone.
