Featured Strange Beautiful Dounut Decanter ???

I have had this decanter for many years, I purchased it in a London auction because I loved it. It is hand-painted, which must have taken an eternity and the colors are extremely vibrant, pink flowers with gold butterflies. It has no markings I thought it may have been early Murano but I have not come across anything even similar. Please help identify it as I'm completely out of ideas.

 

MOSER MOSER MOSER or possibly another Austrian maker but looks like Moser to me

 

Does that mean it could not be more Moser if it tried?

 

I think this dates to 1870s-80s.
Bohemian.

I would start with Moser

Okay, I went to the Moser on pinterest and there was some very ornate pieces. Does Moser not sign any of their pieces??

 

Moser did sign some of them.....I have cataloged several that were signed. Sometimes the signature is very obscure - in gold in the pattern or acid etched.

Thanks, I've looked all over the decanter and no signature.

 

Yep - might not have one. Doesn't mean it isn't Moser. You can check out Harrach as well or just do a random search of Bohemian or Austrian enameled glass.

 

Thank you Laura, I'll do a complete research on the decanter. I feel after looking on the sites you mentioned it certainly looks Moser.

 

Don't be concerned if you can't verify that piece. Only someone wanting to buy it cheaply would say it wasn't Moser/bohemian. If only there were a way to google the products of Novy Bor. And Karlovy Bor.

 

I had the same problem earlier.

 

Looks like it is modeled after the Baccarat Remy Martin decanters.

Or, considering the time frame, vise versa

 

Try searching "torus" decanter. (I wouldn't discount Venetian.)

 

ZOIKS!

Love it, @Malcolm

 

Thank you Cherryhill, I understand what you are saying.

 

I'll do that now. Thanks

 

Thank you scouthouse, I fell in love with it when I purchased it.

 

What is the weight? leaded glass?

 

Wowser!! I wonder how you would clean the inside if you had to? I've seen flexible decanter brushes at Wms Sonoma. I take it this is a work of art and not meant to be used? It's beautiful.
