About the Item

Fabulous good sized early metal clad box attributed to Moser c 1895 in bright blue coloured glass heavily enamelled with a stylised kite-block pattern in pale greens and orange red and yellow curls -the decoration is on the top of the box and on the shoulders of the base (see pictures). Moser glass boxes like these were very popular in the Victorian era, but larger ones like this one rarely survive -see condition notes the main hinge is still working well but there are signs of the stress caused by the heavy lid. A fabulous survivor -the enamelling the glass have survived well. Moser is one of the greatest Bohemian glass makers of all time and in 2017 celebrated its 160th anniversary.

Victorian Bohemian Harrach Enamel Glass Potpurri Holder with Metal Fitments
By Harrach Glassworks
Located in Worcester Park, GB
Unusual enamelled and gilded Victorian Harrach Potpurri holder with original white metal feet and collar with detachable pierced lid and separate two part inner filter made c1890. With an opaque cream base, it is enamelled with green gilded bands and floral decoration. The container inner lid allows the contents to be closed off, partly closed off or left fully open, ensuring the fragrance is released into the room when only when desired. Harrach has been the backbone of Bohemian, and possibly European, glass for the last 300 years. It proudly celebrates its tri-centenary in 2012. Before Ludwig Moser was allowed to have his own Glassworks he, like almost everyone else in the region, bought his blanks from Harrach. In fact we will probably never know how much glass, supposedly made my other great glass makers of Europe, were in fact made and finished in the Harrach Glassworks. We do know that vast ranges of Legras was made by Harrach, probably under licence and possibly the majority of the glass we think of as Fratelli Tosso...
