This Moser design was commissioned by King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra of England in 1907.
Moser received a Royal Warrant as Purveyor of Glass to the British Monarch - a highly unusual honor for a non-British Supplier.
The pattern is diamond cut by hand and rimmed in 24-karat gold. Following the king's death the design was released and subsequently purchased by the Royal House of Norway and the United Nations among many other royal courts and governments.
Timeless elegance
More than a century of success of the Royal drinkware collection confirms that its Edwardian simplicity is perfectly timeless. The drinkware set, created for the wife of the English king Edward VII, gained popularity with the likes of the Norwegian king Haakon VII, Turkish sultan Abdul Hamid or Maharaja from Baroda.
This set of crystal glass can also be found in the former Czechoslovak embassies as well as the United Nations headquarters in New York.
The restrained style that Moser gave to its Royal collection, corresponds with the Edwardian aesthetics of the time, which was gaining popularity in the early 20th century at the expense of ornate Art Nouveau style. The classic shape with clean silhouette and smooth walls allows the unique optical properties of Moser crystal to shine. The transition of the walls into the hand-cut six-faceted stem bears a delicate diamond cut, whose proportions create the notional centre of gravity of all the glasses. The upper edge of the goblets is decorated with a slight strip of a 24-carat gold. Thanks to the hand manufacture, the Royal collection can be personalized per the customer’s wishes and supplied in one of the traditional Moser colors (aquamarine, alexandrite, beryl, eldor, rosaline or topaz).
