This Moser Bohemian Intaglio Cut Crystal Pitcher has been in my wife's family for many years.  She inherited it from her grandmother who had purchased it Europe on one of her many European trips abroad.  She could remember seeing it in her grandmother's house ever since she was a very young child. 

The pitcher is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks or imperfections.  Because the pitcher has been used on occasion over the years their is slight wear to the gold etchings.  It is a fabulous looking pitcher.  The reverse painting of the wild strawberries look amazing.  On the outside they are etched in gold and on the inside the strawberries are painted red, with the leaves painted green.  You just have to see it to believe it!  You may be able to to see some of that in the photos if you look closely under  magnification. 

This is an old and very rare vintage item.  In fact, I have not been able to find this pattern in the extensive research that I have done.  It would be a prized piece for anyone's collection. 

Don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you have about this pitcher.  Thank you for visiting my listing.  All reasonable offers will be considered.

Best wishes,

History of Moser Crystal

Hand made ~ Lead-free

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.
