Culbuto Decanter, 1000 ml by Moser

Culbuto decanter, 1,000 ml

This minimalist shape, created by Moser's great designer Rudolf Eschler for his Culbuto collection, works perfectly on the 1,000 ml carafe. The spherical shape of the body is repeated on the elegant stopper and complemented by the decor of pebbles. Even though it's been more than eight decades since the creation of this design, the carafe still feels modern and contemporary.

Design

An ancient principle in modern design

For the Culbuto set of glasses and carafe, the great Moser designer Rudolf Eschler found inspiration in a classic toy: a figure with a low centre of gravity that always returns to the vertical. While this old principle traces its roots all the way back to the Tang dynasty in ancient China (7th to 10th century), the resulting aesthetic is thoroughly modern. And nothing about that has changed from 1935, when the collection was designed, until the present day.

The spherical shape of the thin-walled glasses, which stands on an almost invisible base, works perfectly in either clear lead-free crystal or the iconic Moser colours. The basic clear set lets the colour of a drink really pop, while the sophisticated hues of the coloured glass bring a playful element into your home.

• Hand-blown from environmentally friendly lead-free crystal
• Available in all basic and additional Moser colours

Designer

Rudolf Eschler

In the 1930s, Rudolf Eschler was one of the most successful Moser designers. His designs managed to succeed at the world expositions in Chicago and Bruxelles and in the present day, they continue to gain popularity among designer glass enthusiasts. In the current Moser lineup, you can also find his Bar collection, while the perfume and liqueur sets of strictly square shape are highly sought after by collectors and at auctions.
