About me: I have been a member on Ebay for about a year now and I've been buying many different types of antiques on Ebay, private auctions, and estate sales. I am now in the process of opening up an antique furniture and decorative arts store and I overstocked a little so now I am selling some very beautiful and extremely rare antiques and items on Ebay. As you can see, I have 100% positive feedback ratings. You can bid with confidence.
The Item: we present to you an Antique Moser Karlsbad Bohemian Glass Vase, featuring a Deep Amber color Glass, cut back to Reveal Translucent Facets and Panels. The surface is Decorated with a fine Courting scene Continuing around the Vase. Very High Quality. T is Artist Initials WH near the Foot of the Woman as shown in the Last Picture.It dates back to circa. 1910-1914. I have seen other, unblemished vases featuring this motif in European shops selling between $6,500 and and $11,000, mainly in the higher-end shops and antique galleries. Moser Glass is the legacy of Ludwig Moser (1833-1916), a Jewish artist from the Czech Republic (then known as Bohemia). He was formally trained as a painter and engraver, but founding the Moser glass company, and is what he is remembered for today. Moser glass first gained recognition as a very high quality engraving facility beginning in 1857, with numerous showrooms and shops in Karlsbad. Most of the artists employed by the Moser firm were Bohemian, and much of the glass they produced from 1870- 1897 had a strongly Bohemian design ethic, using indigenous themes and motifs. The glass was decorated with heavy gilding and enameling, as well as engraving, in intricate designs, including Hunt scenes, and showing influences from the European Baroque movement, as well as work by Islamic goldsmiths and Japanese floral motifs. During this period Moser was solely a company that decorated glass blanks obtained from other companies. In 1893 did Moser began producing their own glassware. In 1893 the Moser firm opened a factory at Meierhofen, under Ludwig and three of his sons. The quality of the glass produced was under the strictest of control, and inferior pieces were destroyed. Items initially produced at the new facility were tablewares, vases, ashtrays, etc, with different blanks bearing different embellishments (which could, of course be custom ordered). Moser also ended up producing -in fact, inventing- very specific types of tablewares for very specific functions. Special glasses for different types of wines, for example, and separate glasses for certain liqueurs created world wide recognition of Moser's fine crystal wares. One line, the Royal pattern designed in 1908, was so named after Edward VII ordered a complete set. With that sale, the genie was out of the bottle, so to speak, and the tradition of the "Glass of Kings" was established. Moser glassware over the years was sold to many royal families, presented to popes, ordered by kings and maharajas, and used by diplomats up to the present day. I acquired this Vase on my trip to Prague in 2005. The Measurements of this vase are 9.25" x 5.5". This Vase is in Perfect condition with no Chips, Cracks, or Damages AT ALL !
