Moser Glassworks - a "Hot Pad" cameo stemmed drinking glass Bohemia early 20th Century.
The subtly coloured glass in the Art Nouveau style with an overlaid, engraved and wheel-carved design and centrally applied green/yellow flower-head.

This is a private collection, held in the UK, of early 20th century and extremely rare Moser "Hot Pad" cameo intaglio cut marquetry vases with applied flowers. This unusual manufacturing technique often led to failures because the applied "hot pad" flower would cool at a different temperature to the main vase which inevitably led to cracking. This was one of the most unique and sophisticated processes used by Moser or any other glass maker of the period.
The collection can be purchased as individual pieces or, with discount, as a collection of five.
