Design and production
Singular technique of the papal cut
Manufacture of any item from this collection is a task for true masters of glassworking. In the beginning, there is a goblet with thick sides that gradually thin towards the upper edge. Moser glassworks is the only one to be able to produce these goblets using a method called “abrupt force”, which then allows them to perform a rounded cut with wide edges, which optically light up the glass and make it more scintillating. On the outer side of the glasses, precisely cut facets are modelled, crowned by elegant curves beneath the edge. This is called a “papal cut” and it requires perfectly rendering the proportions, depth and width of the surfaces. In mastering this technique, the Moser glassworkers won themselves a reputation around the world. The shape and the cut lets the lead-free Czech crystal stand out both in a clear version or when underlaid with one of the typical Moser colours. For especially great occasions, gold or platinum decoration can be custom ordered.

Moser
The graceful design of a collection authored by the Moser glassworks itself is a work of true masters. It begins with the goblet’s sides of uneven thickness, gradually thinning towards the edge. Then, precisely cut facets are cut into its surface, crowned by elegant curves beneath the mouth. This is what we call the “papal cut”, and it requires the maker to follow the proportions, depth and width of the surfaces perfectly, turning it into a prime example of the Moser glassworkers’ craftsmanship.
