Topic: date request for Kluk Kluk/kuttrolf decanter.

[Paul S.]

my thanks to both of you for all the help   -  well, at least I got the date part almost right if nothing else.     The mark shown on Great Glass is probably the most accurate.

I understood from here that Moser took over a glass manufactory http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moser_(glass_company)
The reference for that is http://openlibrary.org/books/OL316841M/The_art_of_glass

I'll look in the book when I get home, but Moser does massage its own history a bit though.

I had a quick look at the online version for the Arwas book, but there aren't any viewable pages regarding this online for the book. (I'd love a copy of that book)
Truitt's says
'After several years of refusal, Moser was finally given permission to build his own glass manufacturing facility in Dvory, near Karlovy Vary.  ...'
and
'With the opening of the glass house in Dvory (in 1893), the company was reorganized as a private stock company and named 'Karlsbader Glasindustrie Gesellschaft, Ludwig Moser und Sohne'.

had occasion to go back to the same source from whence came this one, and surprised to see I had missed another one when I was buying yesterday.    Holmegaard, and with the label intact, but sadly no stopper - so if anyone has a spare stopper I'd be more than happy to buy        I've seen this bent version before, but forget offhand whether it has a particular name.

The Moser book indicates that Moser built his glassworks; interesting what a less than careful choice of words or phrases out of context can lead to. Took over may be an inaccuracy in translation, as the Moser book says the official inspection, i.e., the hand over, was in 1983.
