ABOUT PRODUCTID 19490
This Alexandrite glass vase, produced by Moser in Czechoslovakia during the 1930s, offers a refined example of interwar Central European glassmaking for the living room. Crafted entirely from thick, hand-cut crystal, it features a deeply faceted surface with pronounced vertical cuts and rounded edges – details that align closely with Art Deco aesthetics. The delicate, translucent lilac-purple hue subtly shifts depending on the light source: violet in daylight, transitioning to blue-green under artificial light. There are no additional colored accents or surface decorations; instead, the play of light within the expertly polished glass comprises the sole ornamentation. The proportions are harmoniously balanced, with a broad shoulder and a solid, precisely cut base. There are no signs of use, damage, or repair – the vase has been preserved in excellent collector’s condition.The vase quietly narrates the story of restrained Central European Art Deco, a period where geometric precision met the modernity of innovative materials. Its transparent composition and color-shifting ability evoke the subtle spectacles at the intersection of craft and art. It appears as a silent witness to its era: modest in silhouette yet dynamic, as internal light and lilac tones create a subdued, ever-changing display.This vase could be showcased as a standalone accent on a walnut console or a slim shelf against a light-toned wall, where its color-changing qualities are accentuated. It works well in interiors with understated palettes, where it does not compete with overwhelming forms but enhances the interplay of light and texture. A setting inspired by Art Deco or modernism – perhaps complemented by period-appropriate details in chrome, onyx, or alabaster – would be its natural home, though the vase may also be combined with minimalist ceramics or contemporary glass lamps to create a nuanced dialogue across styles and materials.
