High-Stemmed Liqueur Glass, c. 1900

Much in keeping with the aim of embellishing all areas of life with art, Koloman Moser (1868–1918) designed objects of delicate glass art, including long-stemmed wine and champagne glasses as well as ornate receptacles in various shapes and shades. From 1899 Moser designed countless models and drafts for vases, carafes and glass services for the chandelier manufactory E. Bakalowits Söhne, which were executed by the largest Bohemian glass foundries, the glass factory Johann Lötz Witwe and the glass manufactory Meyr’s Neffe. His hand-blown liqueur glasses captivate with their subtle color nuances and the combination of colorless and colored glass in shades of green, rose, blue or yellow. The long stems invest the glasses with particular elegance.
