So fine it has to be Moser! We've had this packed away and in storage for years and just recently found it!

There are no markings or signatures but it has all of the feel of a Moser piece. The enamel painting has visible depth an wonderful coloring.

$166 USD SaleSALE Fine Antique Bohemian Moser Layered Cordial, Goblet or Sorbet
Glass:Antique:Bohemian
Susan here, listing from Europe again, and just back from Prague & a wonderful few days of study which included many of these magnificent Bohemian glassware items, so I feel particularly thrilled (and somewhat qualified) to present this stunning 19th century Moser goblet. The pieces I looked at in Prague last week were all priced through the roof, and I had to pass them all by. I saw several examples of this very same work in the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague - elegant as ours. This would ...
$421 USD SaleSALE Antique French Pair Blue Opaline Vases, Enameled
Glass:Antique:French
That perfect color of blue - Sevres blue! A beautiful pair of 6" tall decanters that are so deliciously painted in that thick impasto enamel style we love, they are bouquets all on their own even before you tuck in a few stemmed flowers. Perfect at table, but we like these as liqueur decanters, as well and have also thought of them for syrups for a brunch service. Yes, we like to put our antique items in service, and not let them gather dust on a vitrine shelf, as they were originally made as ...
$209 USD SaleSALE Antique Moser Etched Glass Compote or Bonbon, Gilded
Glass:Antique:Bohemian
Elegant & rare antique Moser compote, bonbon or centerpiece with scalloped rim, intaglio etched floral decoration and wonderful appeal! A bit small for a full blown centerpiece but this one would surely have been the opulent serving piece for berries, bonbon or chocolates! Unmarked but most likely Moser, possibly St. Louis and the decoration is as elegant as can be! Very good-excellent condition! Some wear to the gold enamel and one small rim chip. See pictures for measurements.
$251 USD SaleSALE Antique French Enameled Blue Glass Tall Vase, LeGras
Glass:Antique:French
From the atilier or glassworks of LeGras, this beautiful tall royal blue vase is enameled in that thick impasto enameling we're used to seeing by this designer/glass maker of the 19th century. It has the Napoleon III era 'feel' to it, with a hint of the Orient in the floral decoration, too. Stunning! Would be beautiful with a couple of long stems of pussy willow and an orchid or two, wouldn't it? Very good to excellent condition, photos tell all. No chips or cracks and a superb antique for any ...

Fine antique Bohemian or continental blown green glass claret jug or handled decanter, elegant footed styling with cabochon style glass beads and wonderful condition!

Translucent green glass, mouth blown and all of the elegance that you'd expect with a fine old Bohemian piece. Very good condition! One small flaw but in the absolute best place for it, there's a chip to the very tip of the ...

Glass:Antique:French
Wonderful antique 9.5" blue opaline or Bristol glass vase, impressive size and hand painted enamel decoration with butterfly! A beautiful decorative piece and as affordable as they come :).

$124 USD SaleSALE Antique Opaline Punch or Tea Cup, Hand Painted Floral Spray
Glass:Antique:French
Ancient tiny cup must have been a souvenir of the early to mid-1800s. Certainly old French piece, entirely hand made and as charming as they come, with a bouquet of flowers to welcome Spring. Snowing in your part of the world? Not us - it's 80 here today in San Diego. Don't hate us if our trees are in blossom and bud. Punch cup is in old French opaline glass, likely the last remainder of a full punch bowl/mugs service. The floral garlands are all hand enameled onto the glass. Cherished, lo, ...
$234 USD SaleSALE Antique Bohemian Amber Glass Goblet, FIVE Souvenir Etchings
Glass:Antique:Bohemian
Fabulous antique Bohemian Moser style thick amber glass goblet or tumbler, a footed beaker with five architectural souvenir etchings and solitary "M" monogram! A spa souvenir piece we think, in overly thick and heavy amber glass with intaglio style etched to clear glass scenes! Each of the five scenic medallions have inscriptions below them that read "Schloss in Baden", "Favorite", "Eingang der alten Burg", "Kloster Lichtenthal" and "Conversations Saal". No maker's markings so we're unsure of ...
$81 USD SaleSALE Antique Green Glass Goblet or Sorbet Cup, Raised Gold Enamel
Glass:Antique:Bohemian
Beautiful antique Moser or Moser style emerald glass goblet or sorbet cup with gentle ribbed body, large flared stem & elegant raised gold enamel decoration!

In the form of a miniature or desk top jardiniere, this little treasure is perfect as a candies or bonbon dish, placed just about anywhere for an added touch of French elegance! Of course, it is die stamped 'Germany' so it's not actually a French piece but the style is undeniable Empire and who's to know :). A beautiful piece, don't miss it! Very good-excellent ...
$251 USD SaleSALE Antique French Overshot Glass 11" Serving Dish, Clover Shape!
Glass:Antique:French
Absolutely gorgeous antique French 'overshot' glass 10 7/8" serving or hors d-oeuvres dish, thick & heavy in a unique three leaf clover shape with wheel cut & gilt enameled rim! What a stunning piece! Very similar in appearance to crackle glass, yes we've all surely heard of and seen examples. The process here is a bit different, resulting in a textured look on the reverse side with a smooth interior and much thicker than the common crackle glass. Overshot glass had its origin in 16th century ...
$149 USD SaleSALE Antique Victorian Era Opaline 9.5" Vase, Hand Painted Flowers
Glass:Antique:English, American
Fine antique Victorian to Edwardian era 9.5" flower vase in a neutral colored opaline glass with hand painted floral decoration! A unique color, this earthen toned piece is in what is commonly referred to as Bristol glass but is more opalescent in nature since Bristol generally has a more translucent appearance. This more opaque with a lovely shaping, large footed base and a shaped brass or ormolu rim! The body has vividly colored hand painted flowers & foliage. A wonderful nicely sized vase, we ...

Glass:Antique:French
Wonderful antique French or Bohemian layered glass goblet, vase or cache pot, thick ruby on opaque white with gold wheel cut rims and Mary Gregory style raised white enamel decoration!

$166 USD SaleSALE Antique Opaline Decanter, Caraffe, Perfume, Hand Painted Floral Spray
Glass:Antique:French
French opaline liqueur decanter, or bedside caraffe - maybe a large cologne bottle or suitable to use as one now, though I don't think it was one then. 'Then' is mid-late 1800s. Certainly old French piece, entirely hand made and as charming as they come, with a bouquet of flowers to welcome Spring. Snowing in your part of the world? Not us - it's 80 here today in San Diego. Don't hate us if our trees are in blossom and bud. The floral garlands are all hand enameled onto the glass. Cherished, lo, ...

Glass:Antique:Bohemian
Fabulous antique Bohemian Moser style thick amber glass tankard or stein, a lidded mug with hunt themed stag or deer & forest etchings and pewter framed glass lid! A souvenir piece we think, in overly thick and heavy wheel cut amber glass with intaglio style etched to clear glass scenes! An impressively detailed deer or stag figure with surrounding foliage.

$336 USD SaleSALE Antique Napoleon III Baccarat Marked 'Egg' Sail Boat, Pocket Watch Stand
Glass:Antique:French
Just in! A fabulous 'egg'-shaped Napoleon III glass & ormolu Palais Royal trinket and pocket watch stand in the form of a gallant sailing ship - a sail boat. Lots of gilted brass/bronze wire and pebbled-surface sails combine to turn this BACCARAT piece into a most spectacular little desktop sailboat. Fairly large at over 8" tall, this one will display beautifully among your Palais Royal carriages, caskets, 'eggs' and become a favorite. A little boy's delight, no doubt, when first purchased from ...
$421 USD SaleSALE Antique French Opaline & Enamel Sugar Casket, Box, c.1780-1840, Excellent
Glass:Antique:French
Ordinarily, the smaller these old French sugar caskets are, the older they are. I'm not entirely positive the demure size of this one means it's pre-1800, and would estimate its age between 1830-60, instead. But I could be wrong. What I know for a fact is, it's fabulous! Yes, these were sugar caskets in their time. Back then, sugar was as precious as tea and cocoa, also both kept under lock and key in the finest homes in order to keep the help from pilfering such delicacies as these. Imports ...
$251 USD SaleSALE Antique French Vanity Stand, Mirror and Cranberry Glass Bowl, Candle Stand
Glass:Antique:French
This is such a pretty piece! Mid-1800s, French as can be, and perfect now to use for a little votive candle in your boudoir or guest bath. The bowl is of hand enameled and mouth blown old cranberry glass, and it hasn't a single nip or flaw to show for its century and a half. The old mirror is thick beveled glass and it does show a bit of age, but then don't we all. Very good to excellent condition, age and type considered. The ormolu framework is well polished and bright gold, with floral trim. ...
$761 USD SaleSALE Antique Moser Opaline Service Dish, Double Scallop Shell with Silver Handle
Glass:Antique:Bohemian
While most would identify this as French opaline, I have seen this same beautiful old glass server (and owned another before it) in the Museum for Applied Arts in Vienna. A rich repository of Bohemian glass, including wonderful old Moser pieces that's well worth visiting next time you're in Vienna. An entire large room devoted entirely to art glass can be found there, along with a rich collection of elegant arts, enamels, etc. etc. But I digress. This large and superb work of glassmaker's art is ...
$1,016 USD SaleSALE Antique French Opaline Green 'Egg' Casket, Palais Royal of Paris, c. 1780-1840
Glass:Antique:French
Nested and with braided raised branches that form an arch over the beautiful old opaline 'egg', this one is a much sought after form and color, green being one of the most rare of all opalines. We've been selling our opalines back to France and to French collectors and dealers, so all things come and go in their own circles in time, don't they. But we know when the French are buying them again, that means lots of tourists have been buying their inventory at MUCH higher prices. So be very ...
$506 USD SaleSALE Antique French Opaline Vase in Ormolu Casement, 8.5" Tall, Enameled Green Glass
Glass:Antique:French
A tall and stately vase for display when not in use, it's in fine old French opaline and in the rarest color: green. The elaborate framework is sturdy, complete, undamaged, and has a wonderful patina of age to it. The pale green and thick heavy glass bowl of the vase is also without damage, and is trimmed out in berries and leaves around the upper rim. No, not quite holly berries and holly leaves, but certainly works for a bouquet of rich red roses at Holiday time, or anytime. Photos tell all, ...
$506 USD SaleSALE Antique French Nap III Opaline Sugar Casket, HP & Ormolu - Jewelry Box or Casket
Glass:Antique:French
Some will call these jewellery caskets or boxes, but in fact the traditional use for these was as a coffret for sugar. Yes, and many from the late 1700s were complete with a lock, to lock away the very exotic luxury, sugar. Things we take for granted have surprisingly interesting and often elevated beginnings, and both sugar and chocolate are among those. So these sugar caskets of old French opaline, usually late 1700s to early 1800s are a wonderful collection item, rich with history as well as ...
$1,016 USD SaleSALE Antique French Opaline Blue 'Egg' Ink Well Stand, Palais Royal of Paris, c. 1780-1840
Glass:Antique:French
Nested in the center between two matching blue opaline inkpots, the egg-shaped center bowl is guarded by putti, and has ornate ormolu archs over the beautiful old desk stand and inkwells, this one is a much sought after form and color, this rich 'Sevres' or 'Celeste' blue being one of the most loved of all opalines. We've been selling our opalines back to France and to French collectors and dealers, so all things come and go in their own circles in time, don't they. But we know when the French ...

Napoleon III era, c. 1850-70, roughly, and quite the little French charmer for your vanity or dressing table, or for display in your vitrine. The hand enameled electric blue French 'opaline' glass or art glass is one of the most popular colors and it's really quite rare to find one of these little whimsies that still retains all of the glass inserts, let alone retains them in pristine condition. The stand is brass wire and ormolu with leaves and vines adorning the old thick beveled glass mirror. ...
