This jardiniere, designed by Joseph Hoffmann and crafted by the renowned Moser glassworks in Czechoslovakia around 1922, exemplifies early 20th-century decorative art glass. The body is formed from ruby glass, its deep red hue achieved by adding gold during production—resulting in a rich, saturated tone with a highly reflective finish. The faceted, geometric exterior is adorned with a broad oroplastic frieze, rendered in matte gold and patinated green. This decorative band depicts mythological scenes with classical figures, executed in fine gold lines against a muted green background. The inner rim is also finished in matte gilding, offering a refined contrast to the glossy ruby glass. The overall style is a synthesis of Art Deco geometry with classical revival ornamentation. Dimensions: height approx. 8 cm, diameter 16 cm. Condition is very good—glass surfaces, frieze, and gilding are intact with no visible chips, cracks, or restoration marks.In this jardiniere echoes the spirit of the 1920s—a time when Hoffmann and Moser redefined everyday luxury. The ruby glass, reflecting light like a precious gem, paired with the classical frieze, evokes the ambiance of Viennese salons and mythological inspirations. This object—like a relic of its era—tells the story of fascination with antiquity, contained within the disciplined geometry of modern design. Every detail, from the matte gilding to the subtly raised frieze, attests to the mastery of Czech craftsmanship and the artistic vision of
