Splendid: The apex of glass working mastery

Every piece of the Splendid collection boasts an elegant shape, perfectly precise cut and wide decorative stripe of gold or platinum. Per request, the Moser cutters will add a family crest or personal monogram.

Designer

Moser

A whole orchestra of glass working masters, cutters and gold painters is involved in manufacturing each glass or carafe from the Splendid collection, created by Moser in 1911. Nothing has been changed for more than a century. The molten glass is pre-formed and blown into a form made of hardwood, then the stem and the base are formed using special tools. After cooling down, it's time for cutting - the precise edges of the stem, a belt of olivettes on the body and a delicate diamond cut. The cut is especially demanding when it comes to focus and steady hand. Next is preparation of the oroplastic decor, painting with gold paint and firing in a furnace. Then the gold is polished with agate and hematite. Before you can raise a Splendid glass in a toast, it will go through at least 60 pairs of skilled hands.
