Hand-blown from richly colored crystal, the vessel is adorned with repoussé copper bands featuring a repeating Art Nouveau foliate and bird motif.

The elegant, elongated form with slender neck and fitted wood stopper captures the refined craftsmanship for which Moser is celebrated. The bands — likely fashioned by a regional metal workshop such as WMF or Meyr’s Neffe — complement the glass’s vivid depth and smooth polished base.

This decanter embodies the transitional aesthetic of the late 19th century, where fine Bohemian crystal merged with decorative metalwork to create sophisticated barware and collector’s pieces.
