Moser glass originated in Czechoslovakia and Bohemia and has been collected since the early 19th century by monarchs, statesmen and the most discerning cut-crystal connoisseurs all around the world.  Early patrons include the first Czechoslovak president Tomáš G. Masaryk and first Czech president Václav Havel.  “Splendid” has graced the tables of the Spanish Kings Alfonso XIII (1886-1941) and Juan Carlos I (1938-), King Harald V of Norway (1937-), the royal families of Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Saudi Arabia and Pope Benedict XVI (1927-). In 1947, the Czechoslovak president Edvard Beneš gave Moser crystal to Britain’s queen-to-be, Elizabeth II, as a wedding present. The set was supplemented 60 years later on the Queen’s diamond wedding anniversary.
