For Sale is a beautiful piece of art glass made by the Moser Glass works Company of Karlsbad, Austria. The form is a Wheel Cut and Gold Gilded Cabinet Vase. The Vase has a petite size to it as it stands 3 3/8" tall and is 3 1/4" in diameter. The top opening is roughly 1 1/2" in diameter outside measurement.

The Vase has a bulbous bottom with an elongated neck with applied handles. The vase has a wonderful and beautiful Amethyst Colored Neck that was blown off of a clear body background glass. It has 3 applied handles that somewhat resemble twigs. The Vase is further decorated with wonderful wheel cut art nouveau flowers. There appears to be 3 different flowers. One of the flowers looks like a Lily, another like a Tulip and the last one like a Wild Rose. The details in the flowers and leaves is outstanding as you can see detailed veining and the folds and creases in the flowers. To finish and add some color to this vase the raised Twig Style branches have been Gold Gilded along with the top lip and along the exterior edge of the lip.

The Vase is considered to be in Excellent Condition as there are no chips, cracks, nicks or dings. There is some Gold Gilding loss especially to the flat top lip as pictured. The other areas are marginal. One could have this re-gilded if they wanted to. There are several scratches on the bottom flat side and is typical on clear crystal glass with age. The piece is not signed and more than likely had a paper label at one time.

This is a Quality and Lovely piece of art glass and would be a wonderful addition to ones art glass collection. I'm quite sure the lucky buyer will not be disappointed with the purchase of this vase. This Vase was made Circa 1880-1900.
