This amethyst crystal vase, crafted around 1920 by the renowned Czech glassworks Ludwig Moser & Sohne, exemplifies the balanced form characteristic of early Art Deco. The glass, in a deep, cool shade of violet, is meticulously cut with vertical facets that accentuate its clarity and brilliance. The classical, symmetrical silhouette with a wide, flared rim and a solid, rounded foot reflects the era's pursuit of harmony between function and decoration. The mirror-polished surface amplifies the saturation of the color and allows light to play freely across its face, while the substantial thickness of the crystal imparts a sense of weight and presence. The vase is preserved in excellent condition, free from visible signs of damage or wear. This piece conveys the spirit of the interwar period: noble simplicity of form and the refinement of material speak of a time when Bohemian glassmaking set European standards. The depth of the amethyst hue evokes dusk among Art Nouveau villas, while the vertical cuts draw the gaze upward, inviting contemplation of light refracted through crystal. Ornament is unnecessary here—the subtle interplay of proportion and luminosity tells its own story. The vase may be displayed on an oak console or marble tabletop in the living room, where its cool violet will stand in striking contrast to natural textures. It would harmonize with geometric forms from the 1920s and 1930s or act as a singular accent in a contemporary setting. Pairing it with simple ceramics in neutral tones or with a graphic artwork on the wall would highlight its Art Deco heritage. In a collector's arrangement, it could be combined with other glass objects in noble colors, creating a cohesive and atmospheric composition.
