Moser glassworks is renowned for its traditional manual production of decorative art pieces, characterized by intricate cutting, fine gold or platinum painting, and distinctive engravings. These pieces are crafted in clear crystal or unique Moser colors and have adorned palaces and private residences worldwide for nearly 160 years.

The history of Moser glassworks began in 1857 when Ludwig Moser, a talented engraver and businessman, opened an engraving workshop and store in Karlovy Vary. Moser crystal gained international recognition for its beauty, quality, and variety of shapes and colors, becoming synonymous with luxury crystal and perfect craftsmanship.

Thanks to the craftsmanship of Moser masters, the glassworks continue to introduce new collections inspired by historical patterns. These works are based on archival designs and demonstrate a continuous pursuit of beauty and perfection.
