This is a beautiful unsigned 19th century Moser perfume bottle with enamel. The bottle is of clear glass, and stands on its base. It is decorated with gold, adorned with lillies of the valley and a beautiful, tall white bird. Moser glass is the legacy of Ludwig Moser (1833-1916). Ludwig Moser & Sons was founded in Karlsbad, Austria, in 1857. These perfume bottle are treasured for their intricate colors and fine gold decoration. In its first few decades, no glass was blown or manufactured at Moser. The focus was entir ely on engraving, enameling, and polishing blanks provided by Loetz and other Bohemian Glassworks. But by the end of the century, Moser had built its own factory and was supplying the highest quality cut and decorated glass to Franz Josef I, the Emperor of Austria. A commission for Edward VII of England followed in 1908 and for the rest of the 20th century, Moser would produce glass for monarchs, maharajahs, and popes. This finely enamelled bottle dates circa 1870. This bottle is fitted with engraved brass mounts.The top is hinged, and flips back to reveal the original clear glass stopper . On the top, engraving and stamping work is done in a star flower pattern. The interior of the of the top still displays the original high gilt finish. The bottle with the brass top measures 3 inches tall by 1 1/4 inches at its widest point, and 5/8 inches deep.
