ABOUT PRODUCTID 13742
This Moser vase from the 1930s, crafted in the renowned Czech manufactory in Karlovy Vary, is made of solid amethyst glass with an intense purple hue and a striking geometric silhouette. Its pronounced hexadecagonal, conical form broadens toward the base and is crowned with a wide, high-relief band of gilded oroplastics at the upper section. The gilded decoration, executed in detailed high relief, depicts an ancient or mythological hunting scene: figures of people and horses among fantastical creatures and trees, referencing motifs from ancient Near Eastern art—an iconographic choice favored by Art Deco designers. Sharp facets and a matte-to-satin finish amplify the interplay of light on the surface. The vase displays very good preserved condition—no cracks or losses; only a subtle, age-consistent patina is visible on the gilt decoration.This piece seems to tell its own story from an era when Art Deco drew from the past: the monumentality of ancient friezes meets a modernist fascination with form and material. Its purple, cool-toned glass catches the light, while the gilded relief presents a world from centuries ago—hunting, movement, scenes laden with symbolism. Each angular facet and gilded motif comes to life in shifting light, conjuring an echo of the 1930s: a decade of refinement, a passion for luxury, and a dialogue between tradition and innovation.This Moser vase could serve as a statement piece in a study lined with dark wood and leather-bound volumes, or as the central accent on a marble console in a living room styled with Art Deco or eclectic collector sensibilities. It can be paired with other geometric objects—a bronze sculpture or a minimalist glass-shaded lamp. Displaying the vase against calm, monochromatic surfaces—matte walls or
