ABOUT PRODUCTID 19787
This Moser candy dish from 1930s Czechoslovakia exemplifies Czech glassmaking artistry, crafted from faceted crystal glass in a delicate, slightly translucent shade of pink known as 'rosaline.' The geometric body features a broad, tapering bowl crowned by a conical lid with a spherical yellow knob, the latter distinguished by marbled brown veining. The richly faceted crystal surface echoes the modernist precision of Art Deco design, its glossy finish accentuating clarity and brilliance. The seamless construction, devoid of visible fittings or metallic elements, attests to the meticulous craftsmanship of the era. The piece survives in very good condition, with preserved original features and no visible major repairs; only minor surface scratches or air bubbles typical of handmade glass may be present.Rooted in the sophisticated ambiance of interwar Czechoslovakia, this candy dish evokes a time when utilitarian glassware aspired to be miniature works of art. The soft rosaline pink captures and animates light, while the bold geometry of the faceting transports one to elegant salons where subtle ornament was celebrated. The contrasting yellow lid knob, almost like a touch of jewelry, speaks to the Art Deco penchant for daring accents and playful experimentation. Light dancing across the cut crystal surfaces imparts a sense of occasion—an invitation to appreciate the era’s unique convergence of functionality and ornament.This object could take pride of place on a hallway console or coffee table, where its faceted glass will cast lively reflections. It pairs well with smooth woods, black lacquer, nickel accents, or ceramics in pastel hues. Art Deco-inspired or eclectic collector’s interiors would showcase its distinctive character—consider combining it with geometric lighting or a beveled mirror to amplify the interplay of form and light.
