VERY RARE ANTIQUE VINTAGE GEOMETRIC PAIR OF 8 STEP TIER VASES Joseph Hoffman MOSER CLEAR GLASS 10” 12 sided PANEL FACETED PRISM STEP CUT PAIR C1930.

This listing is for a very beautiful, increasingly rare to find, CLEAR CRYSTAL ART DECO Moser Hoffman Karlovy Vary, crystal PAIR OF VASES, in what looks like unused condition, bar for display purposes. There is no inside staining or hard water in all the crevices of the steps of the block cutting.

(I have included a photo of another cylinder style from the range that is cut to clear….but cannot find identical clear vases!!)

The almost antique vase has a typical design that is unmistakable for the famous Moser brand. The vase is made of solid, thick-walled clear glass of high quality. The surface is divided into blocks, which are decorated with STEP CUT facets. (It’s hard to describe all the intricate cutting techniques of these masterpieces). They are not identical to each other in that they are each hand cut so there is a variance in measurements of the facets and panels, but the 10”height is matched.

The year of production dates back to the 1930s, but the vase still looks like new. The design by the glass artist Josef Hoffmann and his vision were realized by the glassworks in Karlovy Vary. (See research notes below.)

This facet cut Block Crystal Vase geometric designed by Josef Hoffman each one handmade and unique with its ascending OCTAGONAL SIDED pattern with graduated, deeply cut steps is a vase of Modernist design (Austrian, 1870-1956) for Moser, Czechoslovakia ca. 1930s.

The glass is CLEAR CRYSTAL. This heavily thick cut, octagonal, faceted design allows for much light play from top to bottom. It’s a timeless design which mixes well with any decor—from classic formal, to Danish/MCM, to farmhouse.

Perfect for a mantle, console or tabletop. The 12 sided, 8 tier, faceted vase gives the greatest reflection and refraction of light I have seen. Fascinating to for the collector or to give as a gift if you can bear to part with them.

Please see my other Hoffman Moser glass in other listings.

RESEARCH NOTES:

JOSEF HOFFMANN

One of the founders of Vienna Secession

ARCHITECT AND DESIGNER

Austrian architect and designer Josef Hoffmann (1870–1956) was one of the founders of Vienna Secession. One of his most famous architectural achievements is the Stoclet Palace in Brussels, widely regarded as a groundbreaking example of modern architecture. In 1903, he co-founded the Wiener Werkstätte – a Viennese avant-garde art association. He also employed his creativity in household glassware, creating mainstay collections for the Wiener Werkstätte and the Viennese company Lobmeyr. At the time, the supplier and implementer of Hoffmann's unique designs for both of these organisations was none other than Moser glassworks. Hoffmann’s original vases are displayed in the Glass Museum in Passau, Germany.
