AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An authentic vintage Moser hand-cut alexandrite crystal vase from the iconic "Purity" collection - an iconic modern design originally crafted between 1920–1935. Renowned worldwide for luxury craftsmanship, this exquisite piece features a minimalist, geometric design that transitions elegantly from a heavy, solid base into sharp, sharply faceted vertical columns.
The alexandrite crystal naturally changes color depending on the lighting conditions—appearing as a delicate lilac/lavender purple under daylight or fluorescent light, and shifting to a soft blue or pink undertone under different warm lighting.
Considering its age, it is in good condition. No cracks or chips. The only visible marks are scratches on the base and on one of the facets at the bottom – see the last photos.
