Ludwig Moser opened his first factory in 1857 and soon his artfully decorated glassware found its way into worldwide collections of presidents, popes, king, queens, and Liberace. To the best of my knowledge, this pokal, which\u00a0measures 15.75 inches tall,\u00a0was not owned by Liberace. As the bulk of the pokal is quite heavy, I am not surprised that at some point it broke in two, snapping off at the base. Luckily for me, an early practitioner of recycling secured the remaining unscathed upper portion of it\u00a0to a sturdy brass lamp base, allowing it to be filled to the brim with beer or display an arrangement of fresh flowers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/?attachment_id=12029\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12029\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12029\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9974.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9974.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9974-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9974-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/?attachment_id=12030\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12030\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12030\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9977.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9977.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9977-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9977-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/?attachment_id=12033\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12033\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12033\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9979-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9979-1.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9979-1-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9979-1-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_71041.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7511\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_71041.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_7104\" width=\"400\" height=\"385\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_71041.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_71041-300x288.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_71021.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7510\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_71021.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_7102\" width=\"400\" height=\"410\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_71021.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_71021-292x300.jpg 292w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This tall amber glass vase made by Moser has its original base intact.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/moser.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7424\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/moser.jpg\" alt=\"moser\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/moser.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/moser-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/moser-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Photo courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.trocadero.com\">Trocadero<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This tall, regal enameled amber glass pokal was made at the end of the 19th century by the esteemed glass manufacturer Moser, in Karlsbad, Austria;\u00a0today known as Karlovy Vary in the Czech Republic.
