For more than eight decades, customers from all over the world have been charmed by the optical play, designed by Rudolf Eschler for the Bar collection. Straight lines and playful curves meet to create an illusion of melting ice cubes, their lively reflections magically shining through a carafe full of fine whisky or cool water. This stylish crystal carafe is the perfect addition to a luxury set of glasses from the same collection.

Design and Production
Optical play on clear or coloured crystal
In the Bar collection, Rudolf Esschler used a unique Moser method: the crystal glass is formed with abrupt force, followed by a meticulous edge cut. The illusion of melting ice cubes in the clear cut glass, created by the lines, is complemented by the use of typical Moser colours (beryl, eldor, rosaline, alexandrite, aquamarine, topaz) and oceanite and smoke colour shades. In 2019, two glass sizes in underlaid colours were added. For the most demanding customers and for exceptional occasions, the collection can be adorned with custom platinum or gold decor.

Designer
Rudolf Eschler
In the 1930s, Rudolf Eschler was one of the most successful Moser designers. His work formed a significant part of several world expositions in Chicago, Bruxelles and Paris. The timelessness of Eschler's work is also shown by the fact that, in addition to the Bar collection, his Culbuto line is also still in production. His perfume and liquor sets, recognisable by their strictly square shapes, are also highly prized by collectors and in auctions.
