6 champagne glasses serving as a variation to Moser’s most luxurious drinkware set. The Splendid Collection from 1911 became the glass of royal families and diplomats. The Illusion Set draws from its DNA, bringing it into the new millennium. While the first glass remains true to the original, the rest play with a type of cut used in the earlier design. Thus, a diverse set of breathtaking optical effects and illusions is born. Now all that’s left to do is raise a toast of well-chilled sparkling wine.
The author Petr Larva describes the Illusion set: 'In the new millennium we tried to draw attention to the Splendid collection (1911) by creating a modern composition with an emphasis on optical effects. Our efforts are built on the DNA of Splendid. Based on the essence of its optics, we have refined all the cut types and given each type new space to stand alone as a solo decoration that spans the entire surface of each glass."

Design and production
How the glass of kings came to be
Creating the crystal Illusion glasses demands maximum focus and an eye for detail. Our glassmakers first shape the molten glass by hand and blow it into a mould. Using special tools, they then make the stem and crown. Once it’s cooled, precise cuts and preparations for the 24-karat gold oroplastic are made. After it’s fired, it must be polished with agate and haematite to fully highlight its radiance.

Petr Larva
Glassmaker and designer Petr Larva acted as the Art Director of the Moser glassworks from 2018-2021. He graduated from the Academy of Arts, Architecture & Design in Prague (UMPRUM), where he attended the Glass Studio under Vladimír Kopecký and also received his doctorate in glassmaking. He holds many international awards. His creations can be found in many museums and private collections and you can even encounter them in presidential or royal offices in Europe, the USA, Arabian countries, and Japan.
“I view glass as a medium, the bearer of meaning, feeling and emotion that creates the ambience of individuality and luxury. That’s what makes Moser authentic, distinctively confident and innovative at the same time.”
