Moser & Söhne - Drinking service (6) - Lady Hamilton - water - Crystal, Gold

Splendid set of 6 water glasses in marvelous crystal.
The Lady Hamilton collection was conceived in the design department of the Moser glassworks, then led by Professor Hussman. It was inspired by Emma Hamilton, wife of the British diplomat William Hamilton and presumed lover of Admiral Horatio Nelson. Her famous beauty has inspired many works of art.
The goblet is adorned with the 'papal cut', which requires the makers to maintain perfect proportions, depth, and width of the surfaces. The goblets with thick bases and thin rims at the top are truly unique, something only Moser can produce.
This collection of cut glass has captivated, for example, the Moroccan sultan Mohammed V, the Iranian shah Muhammad Reza Pahlavi, and the Maharaja of Travancore.
Made in the Czech Republic
Small marks on the upper rim due to age and wear.
