This Art Deco crystal vase was created by the renowned Moser manufactory in Karlovy Vary during the 1950s, based on a design by Joseph Hoffmann – a key figure in twentieth-century Central European architecture and design. Crafted from transparent, faceted crystal in a cool lemon-amber tone, the vase features a vertical array of pronounced oval indentations, rendering a geometric and tactile motif typical of the Art Deco movement. The flattened walls lend an understated lightness, while the thickened, cut base provides visual weight and stability. Its form is waisted at the center and gently flares towards the rim, imparting a sense of sculptural, architectural presence. The high-gloss finish is a testament to the precision of traditional crystal craftsmanship. The piece is signed 'Moser', confirming its authenticity. The vase is in very good condition: facets and details are sharply defined, with no chips, wear, or visible traces of use.This object conveys the confident voice of postwar Central European modernism: the crystal’s clarity recalls illuminated salons of the 1950s, while the rhythmic order of the indentations echoes the architectural utopias of Hoffmann. Within its form, one discerns both an intellectual rigor and a release of hopeful energy characteristic of the era’s optimism. As the glass splinters the light into countless reflections, the vase evokes the story of urban elegance and renewal that pervaded the Central European interiors of the mid-twentieth century.In an interior, this vase would perform beautifully as a centerpiece on a low walnut table or a
