ABOUT PRODUCTID 2020
This Art Deco crystal bonbonniere, designed by Viennese architect Josef Hoffmann—co-founder of the Vienna Secession—was produced by the renowned Ludwik Moser & Sohne glassworks in Karlovy Vary (Bohemia) during the 1920s-1930s.

The lid features a pronounced, faceted knob, harmoniously matching the flared, angular body, all resting on a solid and stable base. The proportions are balanced, with sharp, clean edges and no visible seams; the bonbonniere remains in excellent condition, showing no signs of wear or damage.
