Abyss Aquamarine Lead-Free Crystal, Matt Cut Vase 28,0 Cm

We are presenting the limited-edition Abyss vase, which embodies the new era of the Moser glassworks under the art direction of designer Jan Plecháč. Breathe in, close your eyes and immerse yourself in the unknown. Find courage, determination and the desire to go on. The Abyss vase embodies the revolution of glassmaking as well as the innate emotions of each human being. It is the first Moser piece designed by the creative director Jan Plecháč. In his seven-kilogram crystal monument, he depicts his own vision of a new, dynamic Moser, while also continuing the admirable tradition that started in 1857 with the founder of the glassworks, Ludwig Moser. The innovative crystal object was inspired by the ocean. Lovers of freediving affirm that they find not only inspirational tension in the depths but also peace and harmony. For the Abyss vase, the strain between enormous pressure and meditative lightness embodies the contrast between the organically shaped core and the sharply cut exterior brutalist edges. The vase’s core is shaped by the glassmaker’s breath, making every piece unique.

Founded in 1857, Moser boasts a long tradition of superior artistic and technical standards in lead-free crystal. The quality of the crystal and perfection of Moser's hand cutting, engraving, gilding and brilliant colors are unsurpassed by any contemporary glass or crystal company in the world. Created by Ludwig Moser & Sons, the line originated as an engraving studio in the spa town of Karlsbad, located in Bohemia (now the Czech Republic), a region with deep roots in superior glass-making. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Moser developed its now famous technically perfect crystal production, employing a unique formula for producing a substance as hard as rock and as brilliant as lead crystal - but without using a trace of lead. This composition is very suitable for Moser's marvelous engravings, is ecologically sound and remains free of all concerns associated with lead. Moser's innovative techniques in cutting, engraving and coloring quickly won the line great acclaim at many prestigious international art exhibitions. Soon Moser became the proud possession of royalty, heads of state and well-known personalities throughout the world, an esteemed reputation that has held fast and continues to grow now in the 21st century. Today, Moser produces a wide range of stem and barware, holloware, accessories, giftware and art glass, all showcasing the superior quality, innovation and remarkable artistic expression for which the line has long been recognized.
