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

Splendid service of 6 water goblets in wonderful 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 reputed mistress of Admiral Horatio Nelson. Her famous beauty inspired many works of art.

The goblet is adorned with the "papal cut," which requires the creators to maintain perfect proportions, depth and width of the surfaces. Goblets with thick rims at the base and thin toward 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 Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, and the Maharaja of Travancore.

Made in the Czech Republic
