ABOUT PRODUCTID 38045
This crystal box with oroplastic decoration was created in the 1920s at the renowned Ludwik Moser & Sohne manufactory in Karlovy Vary, a hallmark of Czech artistic glassmaking of the era. Crafted from high-quality, light amethyst crystal, the box features a geometric, octagonal form with faceted sides and a broad, flat lid. The design is distinctly Art Deco, with sharp lines, precise proportions, and a sense of restrained luxury. A wide gilded frieze with intricate vine motifs, executed in the oroplastic relief technique and finished with polished 24-carat gold, encircles the body; the lid is adorned with a detailed, gold-relief scene of Bacchantes in celebration, surrounded by ornamental patterns. The crystal surface is flawlessly smooth and gleaming, free of wear or restoration marks. The base bears the “Moser Karlsbad” signature. The box is preserved in very good condition, with no damage or repairs.The form of this box captures the spirit of interwar opulence and the fascination with luxury typical of Art Deco. The cool, subtle amethyst hue of the crystal harmonizes with the gleam of gold, creating a tranquil, reflective glow—as if the frozen revelry on the lid echoes an era when applied arts were a theatrical expression of refined taste. Each detail, from the winding botanical frieze to the dynamic Bacchante figures, tells a story of joyful living and celebration treasured in Central European
