Mozart

History

From Karlsbad to the whole world

The Mozart collection drew attention with its non-traditional merging of styles and it has gradually gained admirers all over the world. A few owners of the collection include the Iranian Shah Mohamed Reza Pahlavi, the Moroccan sultan Muhammad V, the maharajah of Hyderabad, and the Egyptian king Fuad.

Production

A spinet-like stem

The design of the glass may seem simple, however, its production requires the maximum focus from Moser’s glass artists. The hand-blown challis is adorned with a gently cut pearl edge, and a precise cut shapes the stem until it reminds its user of a piano or spinet from the era of this celebrated composer. 

Apart from graphic arts and painting, the author of the collection, Otto Tauschek, also dedicated his time to designing porcelain and decorative glass pieces. He began working at the Moser glassworks in 1911 and created the Mozart drinkware in 1936. The fact that he created porcelain pieces for the famous brand Rosenthal just goes to further confirm his artistic abilities.
