Topic: Who made this pair and when?

[steve]

Hello and thanks for letting me sign up-

I've been told 1940's Japan, "vintage" Bohemian, 1960's Murano Italy...and Transition Art Nouveau circa 1880-1900...you name it. I've seen them called a vase, a pokal, a goblet, an urn........you name it! I've viewed hundreds of images and almost all with this green/gold style are hailed Bohemian. But very few have "jewels", almost none have handles, and the shape with the "shoulders" is non-existent...except for one other I've seen.
But no one can say definitively it is.........................what?

Hi Steve  -  welcome to the GMB.                   Have to say I've never heard of a 'pokal'?

I notice you've titled your picture Moser, and you say you have two.            Regret this sort of thing not my area, but that degree of banded gilding, plus the imitation jewels and green coloured base glass makes me think of modern Czechoslovakia  -  or at least second half C20 Czech.
Not guaranteed to help, but can you describe the extent of wear under the foot.

Depending on quality, which this piece may lack although I'm not really sure on that aspect, this might just be copying one of the older Bohemian houses such as Harrach or Moser.

Hopefully someone will recognize your piece and have the answer for you  -  fingers crossed.

I did use "Moser", but only for my storage in the computer by topic. I can't look at the base now, since I won't be home for another week+. But if memory serves me right, I saw no wear or markings. But as I've said elsewhere, I'm going to have to get a better "looking glass"! (pun intended)

In style and shape reminds me of Turkish/Moroccan tea/infusion glasses... ?

Is it just me, or does anyone else see a human head with pointed "helmet" at the larger tips of the gilded "mandala" style decorative elements? Perhaps a middle eastern motif or a bit further?
