Moser
Each Moser piece embodies the perfect harmony of tradition, innovation, and artistic vision — a modern expression of timeless beauty.
Founded in 1857 in Karlovy Vary, the heart of Bohemia, Moser has witnessed and shaped the history of glassmaking through generations. Its artisans — among the most skilled in the world — pass down their know-how from master to apprentice, ensuring the preservation of techniques that define the brand’s legacy. This dedication has given rise to creations once cherished by emperors and kings, earning Moser the title “the King of Glass, the Glass of Kings.”
Specialised in tableware, vases, and decorative objects, Moser has always blended modernity with tradition. Its bold designs, distinctive colours, and faceted forms are all brought to life by hand — a testament to artistry that endures through time.
Moser became a Comité Colbert member in 2011.
Its signature
Since the beginning, Moser has worked exclusively with lead-free crystal — a material that demands exceptional precision, endurance, and artistry. From glassblowing and cutting to engraving and gilding, every stage requires years of practice and absolute expertise.
Even today, not a single automated machine can be found in the Moser workshop; every wooden mould and engraved detail is made by hand. This collective craftsmanship, where each step depends on the skill of the artisans, is the secret behind Moser’s unmistakable quality.
Moser’s glassmakers transform crystal into extraordinary works that radiate individuality — no two pieces are ever identical. Each bubble, nuance, or subtle deviation bears witness to the beauty of handmade creation. This authenticity has earned Moser global acclaim, with its works gracing royal palaces, diplomatic tables, and private collections of discerning connoisseurs.
At Moser’s heart lies a spirit of courage and innovation. Building on its nearly 170-year heritage, the brand continues to push the boundaries of traditional craft through new collections that reflect both its legacy and its forward-looking creativity.
The address
Still based in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic, Moser remains one of the few glassworks in the world where all crafts — glassblowing, cutting, engraving, and gilding — exist under one roof. Visitors can explore the manufactory, museum, and shop gallery, where history, artistry, and human touch come together to tell the living story of Bohemian crystal.
