SHOPPING EXPERIENCE MOSER GLASSWORKS It was more than 160 years ago that gifted Czech engraver Ludwig Moser breathed life into Moser crystal and in doing so enchanted the world. From the very beginning he worked with  traditional glassmaking technology, but it was above all his talent and  art that gave the collections their uniqueness and  beauty. Since that time, Moser crystal has been ever-present at royal weddings and  gatherings of the political elite and has been sought after by people with  refined taste. Take a look at what makes this traditional Czech brand unique throughout the world. GET TO KNOW MOSER The renown of the Moser Glassworks is based on the artistic craft of our master glass-makers, cutters, painters and engravers The secrets of artistic skills and craft are traditionally passed down from generation to generation.  Only lead-free crystal has been used at the Moser Glassworks since 1893. It is a specific, high-quality, clear colourless type of glass with a higher content of potassium oxide than disodium oxide that is also harder than lead crystal. The secret of the inimitable colours used by Moser lies in a combination of the highest quality materials. Moser colours draw on the colours of precious stones and are fused with mixtures of rare soils and metal oxides. Their specific colours come from precisely-set ratios of individual substances, recipes that shall always remain the secret of the master glassmakers. Coloured glass stands out for its beauty and when combined, produces some remarkable optical effects. WWW.MOSER-GLASS.COM
