Rose Petal Jar
Moser
Circa 1890

This monumental Moser glass rose petal jar is an extraordinary example of late 19th-century Persianate design. The large, footed, bulbous urn features an expanding middle section on a domed circular foot, lavishly adorned with intricate raised enamels. Gilded arabesques and polychrome trailing vines with pink and blue flowers embellish the surface, showcasing Moser's renowned mastery of color and detail. The jar's impressive form includes a central drop-in vessel crowned with a grand stopper and four applied C-shaped handles. During the Victorian era, such jars were popular for storing rose petals for a pleasant aroma. However, the exceptional size and elaborate craftsmanship of this example make it a rare and remarkable find.

Encouraged by the Austro-Hungarian governments, Ludvik Moser quickly excelled as a glass artist while serving an apprenticeship under accomplished artist O.J. Mattoni. Through working with the Health Spa at Karlsbad, producing and decorating glassware for serving the healing waters found at the spa, Moser quickly acquired a following and demand for his work. By 1857, Moser was able to open his shop full of bright, glistening chandeliers and mirrors, which further illuminated his glass creations. Moser quickly acquired a noble clientele and displayed at International Exhibitions, where his Bohemian glass was highly awarded. Some of his well-known patrons included the Imperial Court of the Emperor of Austria, King Edward VII of Great Britain, King Faisal of Saudi Arabia, Pope Pius XI and King Farouk of Egypt.
