Founded in 1857 in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic, by trained glass engraver Ludwig Moser, Moser is a historic luxury glassmaker celebrated for its vibrant, lead-free crystal. Originally an engraving studio, the brand quickly gained international acclaim, earning the moniker "Glass of Kings" after supplying royal courts, including Emperor Franz Joseph I and King Edward VII, cementing its status as a pinnacle of European craftsmanship. Moser’s signature lies in its proprietary lead-free sodium-potassium glass, which is exceptionally hard and allows for intricate, deep engraving. The brand is renowned for its masterful use of color, achieving jewel-toned hues like alexandrite, beryl, and eldor through closely guarded ratios of precious metal oxides.
