Crystal Baroque
This drinking set, at a glance seemingly woven from the finest lace, is a masterwork of Moser's engravers. It first saw the light of day in 1936, but it draws inspiration from the baroque period and its characteristic floral motifs. The author of the collection accompanied the glasses, decanter and jug with several bowls and plates with the same type of engraved ornament.

Arnold Zadikow
Sculptor and artist of Polish descent, Arnold Zadikow worked as the art director of the Moser glassworks from 1936 to 1938. He primarily designed cut decorative crystal and drinking sets with figural motifs. His time in the glassworks ended with the forceful separation of the Sudetenland and the passing of the Karlsbad manufactory over to German management. He died in the Terezín concentration camp.
