Mozart Wine Glass, 250 ml by Moser

Nearly 100 years ago, designer Otto Touschek combined rococo forms with a modern impulse. In his Mozart collection, he used a simple challis with a pearl cut and an adorned stem, which reminds its users of a spinet from the days of the great composer. This drinkware set found success immediately. A few individuals who purchased the set include the Iranian Shah Mohamed Reza Pahlavi, the Moroccan sultan Muhammad V, the maharajah of Hyderabad, and the Egyptian king Fuad.

Thus a timeless drinking collection was born, which, right from the moment it was placed on the market in the 1930s, gained many an admirer. Today it remains one of the most popular sets of cut crystal.
