AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Moser – Amethyst Art Glass Vase with Gilded Oriental Decoration – Czech Republic – Mid-20th Century
A beautiful and elegant hand-crafted art glass vase by the renowned Czech luxury glass manufacturer Moser, executed in deep amethyst crystal and richly decorated with a finely gilded ornamental frieze featuring stylised birds, scrolling foliage and Persian-inspired arabesques.
The vase demonstrates the exceptional craftsmanship for which Moser is internationally celebrated. The rich amethyst crystal appears almost black under normal light, revealing its deep purple colour when illuminated. The central gilt decoration is complemented by delicate hand-painted gold bands at the rim and lower body, creating a refined and luxurious appearance.
Its timeless barrel-shaped form and sophisticated Oriental-inspired ornamentation make this an attractive collector’s piece as well as an elegant decorative object.
