Design and Production
Crystal with the style of the old times
With the Chrysis vase, your mind will wander into an older time, full of style and elegance. The turn of the 19th and 20th century, the era of art nouveau, was noted for its decorativeness, delicate luxury and admiration of nature. It's no wonder that the hand-cut crystal bears floral motifs, extremely popular in the era when the Chrysis vase was first created. Like in the old days, each unit takes hours and weeks of meticulous work, which results in cut and engraved glass with a value that will last for centuries.

Designer
Moser
Moser's art nouveau vases with floral motifs are a beautiful example of the skills of the Carlsbad glassmakers, cutters and engravers. They've been pushing the boundaries of perfection ever since the turn of the 19th and 20th century, when art nouveau breathed fresh life into all forms of art. The Moser vases, first called "Moderne Plastik" and later "Eckentiefgravur", were admired at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1900, as well as at the exhibitions of London, Turin and St. Louis. The hand-cut, hand-engraved glass has remained popular till the present day.
