ABOUT PRODUCTID 4501
This set of six Culbutto glasses, designed by R. Eschler for Moser in Karlovy Vary, exemplifies refined glassmaking craftsmanship from the 1940s and 1950s. Each glass is produced from neodymium crystal—also known as alexandrite glass—renowned for its unique ability to change color depending on the light source, shifting from pale green through subtle violet to soft lilac. The rounded, bulbous silhouette and thick, weighty base emphasize the clarity and purity of the material, aligning with mid-century modern aesthetics. Edges and bottoms are precisely cut and polished, enhancing the interplay of light on the glossy, flawlessly smooth surface. Measuring 4.6 cm in height and 5 cm in diameter, the glasses remain in excellent, original condition, free from damage or restoration—true collectibles. These glasses resonate with the spirit of an era when material innovation met a fascination with pure form. The neodymium crystal, reacting with a subtle color transformation under daylight or artificial illumination, brings a near-magical quality—as if every toast becomes a small spectacle. The set seems to narrate the post-war optimism and love of modernity, when even everyday objects were imbued with surprising beauty. Light filters through the glass walls, shifting hues like a delicate watercolor wash. The set may be used for intimate gatherings or as a standout accent on a display shelf or console. Pairing them with simple porcelain or minimalist tableware will highlight their modernist lineage; they also harmonize with silver or chromed trays, accentuating the glass's cool reflections. Spaces styled in mid-century modern, art déco, or eclectic collector's interiors will benefit from their subtle, luminous detail. Placed on a wooden or marble table, the play of colors becomes even more pronounced.
