A magnificent and massive Art Deco faceted vase, designed by the legendary architect and designer Josef Hoffmann for the world-renowned glassworks Ludwig Moser & Söhne (Karlovy Vary, Bohemia). This iconic piece represents the pinnacle of interwar European glassmaking. The vase is crafted from Moser’s signature lead-free crystal in a deep, luxurious amethyst (purple) hue. Its heavy, thick-walled body features a precise, hand-cut faceted design that creates a stunning play of light and varying intensities of color depending on the viewing angle. Weighing over 2.5 kg, this is a substantial and high-quality collector's item that embodies the minimalist yet sophisticated aesthetic of the Wiener Werkstätte and the early Modernist movement.
