About the Item
Glass and Enamel Bird Ewer
Moser
Late 19th Century
This remarkable Moser pitcher exemplifies the pinnacle of Bohemian art glass. Among the firm’s most exciting creations, ewers often served as canvases for Moser’s most inventive and elaborate designs. This particular example stands out for its impressive scale and mesmerizing decoration, which fully envelops the ewer, elevating it among the finest of Moser’s exceptional glassworks.
The magnificent cranberry red glass is adorned with hand-painted enamel oak leaves, insects, iconic relief-molded silvered acorns and delicate gilding that extends to the handle, lip and base. At the center, a majestic gilt bas-relief bird takes flight, its shimmering wings spread and beak open in animated speech. Rich in detail and captivating in form, this masterpiece exemplifies Moser’s extraordinary artistry.
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 at International Exhibitions, where his Bohemian glass was highly awarded. Some of his well-known patrons included the Imperial Court of the Emperor of Austria, King Edward VII of Great Britain, King Faisal of Saudi Arabia, Pope Pius XI and King Farouk of Egypt.
