About Moser
Moser is a Czech brand that produces lead-free crystal, which has garnered worldwide acclaim. Moser works remain exclusively handmade to this day, following the centuries-old traditions of Czech glassmaking. The company was founded in 1857 by talented engraver and entrepreneur Ludwig Moser when he opened his workshop and boutique in Karlovy Vary. The glassworks then drew notoriety with its techniques and artistic innovations, its unbeatable mastery of the craft, and the timeless beauty of its products. It became popular amongst monarchs, diplomats, and artists, and the Moser trade mark grew into a world-renowned symbol of luxury and flawless craftsmanship.
WE DON‘T PRODUCE, WE CREATE
No finer collective of artists collaborates under one roof, under more pressure. It takes more than 40 glass workers to make a vase. Glass blowers often handle pieces exceeding 25 kg, knowing one slip in concentration could destroy the piece and delay the entire team. This tradition of elite artisans working hand-in-hand at the peak of their powers, is the secret to the enduring quality of Moser. Our continued success lies solely in their hands.
COLOURS YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH
In the morning, the glasswork dazzles, uplifting a room like a living strelitzia. At night, its colours transform, warming the space with understated elegance. For over 167 years, few have mastered colour like our glassmakers. They work as oil painters with Moser’s iconic hues that are a result of closely guarded ratios of precious ingredients for generations.
CRYSTAL FOUND NOWHERE ELSE
Since 1893, Moser has used only lead-free crystal. No material demands more from its glassmakers. Novices can take years to master the skills needed. Lead-free crystal gives the glassmaker a very short time to shape it on the blowpipe, and for its considerable hardness, it is difficult to cut it. But such effort is well rewarded. Lead-free crystal is remarkable for its purity, shine and hardness. And friendliness to the glassmakers and the environment.
