Gems of functionalism. In 1934, designer Rudolf Eschler inventively united a square base with the round shape of the glasses and carafes, thus creating a timeless bestseller. Nephrite green underscores the beauty of its pure, geometric lines.
Bar set of carafe and 2 glasses, nephrite green is part of the ultra-limited Echoes collection, created to celebrate both the 100th anniversary of the Moser boutique at Na Příkopě in Prague and a century of Moser’s signature colours.

Fascinating story
A century of colours. A century in the heart of Prague.
The Moser boutique at Na Příkopě is celebrating 100 years of existence, making it one of the longest-running shops in a single location in Prague. It opened in 1925 on the ground floor of the Černá růže palace. Nine years later, it expanded to the first floor, into the beautiful premises of the former apartment of the prominent entrepreneurial Bondy family. The treasured Neo-Renaissance interior has remained preserved to this day. Over the past century, the boutique has welcomed countless distinguished visitors, from members of royal families and heads of state to luminaries from the worlds of film and sport.
We've chosen to mark this milestone by creating the ultra-limited Echoes collection. Moser's Creative Director has assembled a unique collection featuring iconic historical masterpieces alongside his contemporary works, presenting them in two extraordinary new shades – nephrite green and uranium. In doing so, he continues the groundbreaking colour experiments pioneered by his predecessor, Leo Moser, in the 1920s.

Echoes collection
Nephrite green
Nephrite green is a new extraordinaire at Moser, as the glassworks has never worked with it before. Its dark-green limpidity gives the crystal works a quite staggering depth, as if they were submerged in silence, in mystery, in emotions difficult to describe. Even our historical gems appear quite contemporary and confident in hues of nephrite. One might think they’re aware of their exclusivity, given that the anniversary nephrite collection is strictly limited due to its ever-challenging smelting process. Nephrite green is one of the most difficult colours to achieve. This shade requires a completely separate approach to smelting – adjusted temperatures, a longer procedure, and, most importantly, sufficient time to stabilise. This extreme difficulty level makes nephrite green one of the technically most demanding and most valuable colours in the history of Moser. It’s a true once-in-a-lifetime, unrepeatable feat – this edition will never be produced again, making it an outstanding collector’s artefact.
