This amethyst crystal bonbonniere from the 1930s exemplifies the finest traditions of Art Deco craftsmanship. Produced by the renowned Moser glassworks in Karlovy Vary, it is crafted from high-quality, faceted crystal glass in a uniform, saturated violet-blue tone. The body and lid are adorned with sharply cut, geometric planes and precise edges, hallmarks of the era’s aesthetic. The lid’s faceted handle echoes the architectural motif, emphasizing the object’s sculptural profile. The overall proportions are balanced, and the highly polished finish enhances the depth and clarity of the amethyst glass. The base is signed with the Moser factory mark, confirming its authenticity. The condition is excellent, with no signs of damage or wear.

Every plane and detail feels intentional—this vessel seems to narrate an era when glass objects were not just utilitarian but also statements of a new lifestyle.
