Moser Paula Water Jug, 9.5, Intaglio Floral, signed

  

Rare Moser Pitcher from the Moser Paula collection. Mouth-blown and hand-cut, copper wheel engraved. Decorated with 24k gold leaf. Note: Last photo shows the entire suite of Moser Paula glasses. The immortal Paula collection was brought to life in 1902, and a few years later, it was named after Leo Moser's gentle wife.

The inspiration for this Moser jewel was the beloved floral motifs of French and Belgian Art Nouveau. The World's Fair in Brussels (1897) and Paris (1900) also influenced its appearance. Even though Paula is already a lady of many years, her popularity has yet to fade. Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall and the wife of Prince Charles grew fond of the timeless elegance of this drinkware collection.
