ABOUT PRODUCTID 2520
This crystal vase, designed by Josef Hoffmann for Ludwig Moser & Söhne and dating from circa 1920–1930, exemplifies the architectural clarity of the Viennese Secession and early modernism. Crafted from Alexandrite (neodymium) crystal glass, the vase displays a cool, pale violet hue with medium saturation, subtly shifting to green depending on the light source. The body is organized into three prominent horizontal segments, each marked by sharply faceted planes achieved through precise planar cutting. The rim is gently flared, while the solid base ensures stability. The highly polished surface accentuates the interplay of light and shadow across the faceted geometry. The vase is preserved in excellent condition, free from chips, cracks, or wear, and retains its original clarity and brilliance. This piece carries the narrative of an era that sought to unify artistic craft with the modern object. Its sculptural, geometric silhouette and the dynamic play of light on its facets evoke the spirit of Viennese avant-garde, where Hoffmann redefined the language of functional form. The shifting hue—from cool lilac to green—reminds us that each light source tells its own story. More than a decorative object, the vase quietly introduces
