About the Item

A Magnificent Moser Amber Crystal Colored Pitcher and Basin with Enameled Dragon and Salamander Handle, from the Klabin Collection. A marvelous dragon and an incredible amount of gilding differentiate this incredibly rare Moser pitcher and its matching basin. Made of gorgeous amber crystal, they are adorned with gilt foliage which terminates to green enamel leaves. The pitcher is further decorated with an incredible multi-colored enamel dragon, while both are decorated with flowers, insects and bees. The tops of both objects have a sublime flowing crystal which appears as dripping honey over the sides, and is all adorned in 24K gold. The pitcher has an illustrious crystal Salamander which is a signature feature by Moser on this already gorgeous object. Circa: 1890 Dimensions of Pitcher: Height: 11 in. Width: 8 in. Depth 7 in. Dimensions of Basin/Bowl: Height: 5.25 in. Diameter: 12 in. Encouraged by the Austro-Hungarian governments, Ludvik Moser quickly excelled as a glass artist while serving an apprenticeship under accomplished artist O.J. Mattoni. Through working with the Health Spa at Karlsbad, producing and decorating glassware for serving the healing waters found at the spa, Moser quickly acquired a following and demand for his work. By 1857, Moser was able to open his shop full of bright, glistening chandeliers and mirrors, which further illuminated his glass creations. Moser quickly acquired a noble clientele and displayed his work at exhibitions around the world. Some of his well-known patrons included Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain, King Faisal of Saudi Arabia, Pope Pius XI and King Farouk of Egypt.
