Nowadays, you can buy a cup or a plate inany supermarket, and it’s hard to believe that once upon a time, tableware was considered a luxury, and only a few could afford it. It turns out that such special tableware still exists. We decided to tell you about it today. From films and history books, we remember that in every country, the nobility attached great importance not only to good food, but also to the tableware on which the food was served. At first, these were wooden products with skillful carving, then painted clay ones, and then gold ones with precious stones. And of course, whoever had more rubies on the cup was more respected and considered richer and more powerful. And what tableware is considered the pinnacle of taste and quality in our time and why? The first glass factory was built in the Czech Republic back in the 20s of the 17th century and quickly became famous thanks to its amazing craftsmen. For example, Louis XIV, the Turkish Sultan Osman III and the Russian Empress Elizabeth decorated their palaces with Czech ones.
And in 1857, something significant happened for both the Czech Republic andAn event for the crystal industry: the businessman Ludwig Moser founded his glass factory in Karlovy Vary. And not just as another such enterprise in the country, but with a specific purpose: to satisfy the local aristocracy. His products were presented at the most important glass fairs and exhibitions in Vienna, Paris, Chicago and other cities, after which they attracted the attention of political leaders and other prominent figures of the time. Since then, Moser crystal has been called nothing other than , and to this day, in high circles, no dinner party is complete without dishes made at this factory. Moser crystal is used and decorated in the homes of kings, presidents, celebrities, and giving it as a gift on special occasions in Europe is considered a sign of the highest degree of respect.

Gerard Depardieu The main thing that distinguishes fromother brands - his: does not contain lead. Ludwig Moser experimented for a long time until he got that very ideally transparent crystal. The recipe is strictly classified, and even during the arrival of the fascists it was not given out and was preserved. The production of Moser products is a jewelry handwork, including blowing, grinding, gilding with 24-karat gold and engraving. And the skill required here is incredible: to blow one product, the master has only 15-30 seconds and no room for error.
Thanks to its impeccable design and highHigh-quality Moser crystal has found its way into many museums around the world, such as the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Corning Museum of Glass, and the Glasmuseum in Passau. And of course, in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, the factory's products are exhibited in many museums and galleries, including the main Moser Museum of the same name in Karlovy Vary. We have compiled a selection of the Moser crystal collection that the factory released in 2016 and which can be found in the Dom Porcelain chain of stores. Now you can see for yourself that the products of this brand are worthy of being called works of art.
