Beautifully engraved, this sweet mare and colt vase makes a great addition to any horse loving home.
The genius behind Moser Glass, one of the most respected names in the crystal industry, was Ludwig Moser. He was born in 1833 in the spa town of Karlovy Vary, now in the Czech Republic, to Henriette and Lazar Moser, a Jewish family, he received his primary education in Karlovy Vary, and then attended a secondary technical school in Vienna for four years. In 1847, he returned to Karlovy Vary and continued his studies in nearby Loket, but left school in 1848 for family and financial reasons. He took an apprenticeship with the renowned glass engraver A.H. Mattoni, one of the founders of that great tradition in Karlovy Vary.
After 2 years under Mattoni's tutelage, Moser left to look for work as a glass engraver, before returning to Karlovy Vary and Mattoni, where he took a position in his workshop as an engraver. In 1851, he took a job in a workshop in Prague and attended drawing classes taught by Christian Ruben, a well-known painter of historical scenes.
He joined the Craftsman's Association and gained some notoriety with his engravings of hunting and ornamental motifs. His newly acquired experience and personal success encouraged him to return once again to Karlovy Vary and start his own business, leasing a boutique from his one time mentor, Mattoni, in 1855.
Moser's boutique thrived on the banks of the Tepla River, benefiting greatly from the seasonal tourists visiting the bustling spa town. He offered finished products for sale, and would also engrave special orders for wealthier customers. He kept the boutique open through the summer of 1856, and worked from his parents' home in the winter. By 1857, it was time to grow from a seasonal shop into his own full time business. He began to lay the foundation for what we know today as Moser Glass. He opened a store where he sold not only typical Bohemian engraved glass, but also fashionable alabaster glass pieces, punch services, and chandelier drops, all of which he purchased from other glassworks.
The 1860s represent a time of tremendous growth, both in business and personally, for Moser. He married, had 6 children, and when his wife died in 1869, he married Julie Meyer and had 4 more sons. He also opened a second shop and enjoyed much success selling mirrors, frames, and when gas lighting was introduced, gas chandeliers and wall lights.
By 1873, he took over the shop of his competitor Hoffman and with his purchase, acquired the warehouse of one of the largest mirror producers in the Austro-Hunagarian Empire. His establishment of such a stable and prosperous business allowed him to take on other projects in the later 1860s and early 1870s. He began to focus on expanding his own production, most likely very conscious of the need to respond to the ever changing stylistic developments of this period. He thus began to promote his products and show at exhibitions around the world. He was awarded several medals at various shows, and in 1873 received the prestigious Medal of Merit at the World Exhibition in Vienna. That same year, Moser was named the official supplier to the imperial and royal court, and had also secured a stable market in London, Paris, New York, and St. Petersburg. It was during these prosperous years of the early to mid 1870s that the range of products changed to selling exclusively decorative and drinking glass.
By 1892, Moser decided the dependence on raw glass sources became too difficult, and thus obtained a building permit for his own glassworks in Karlovy Vary. The success of the glassworks continued well into the 20th century with Moser's sons at the helm. Not even the tumultuous years of WWII and the communist regime through the 1990s affected the quality of Moser's product or its prestigious reputation. Today, Moser is known world wide as one of the most beautiful examples of Bohemian glass, esteemed for their masterful copper-wheel engraving, exact cuts, optically pure glass, wonderful translucent colors, and excellent designs. They have truly earned their moniker, Glass of Kings.

Sturdy ball, holding up well.
Color: Purple
I have a ball obsessed Shih Tzu. This has become his security blanket. He literally takes it everywhere and even sleeps with it next to him. Dexter loves any ball. All shapes and sizes. He will play fetch all day long if you let him. He doesn't know when to quit. It can be 100 degrees out with 80% humidity and he'll fetch all day long.
This is a larger ball, I think just over 3 inches. It is entirely too big for a Shih Tzu, but it is perfect for Dexter. He came to us with a ball similar to this that he has since lost. He carries it in his mouth by placing his incisors in the indentations and lets it hang out the side of his mouth. Quite comical actually, but it works for him. We have bought him balls more for his size, but they're too small and he gets them lost under cabinets, furniture or any nook and cranny the ball will fit. And being obsessive, he will bark and carry on because he can't get to the ball until you come and rescue it. Difficult on our old knees. So he ends up getting the smaller balls taken away from him.
The other night he was laying and chewing on this ball. It sounded like he was shredding this ball to pieces. I was afraid he would choke or swallow the rubber pieces, so I took it away from him. There wasn't anything wrong with the ball. It looked brand new. No chew or bite marks that I could see. I was impressed.
It does have a squeaker, but I can barely get it to squeak and I have strong hands. A larger dog with a stronger bite force could probably easily make it squeak.
It claims to have a beef scent to the toy, and maybe that is why he likes the ball so much. But I sniffed it and couldn't smell anything, which is fine by me, it won't have an obnoxious smell to where I don't want it around me.

Dogs love balls
Color: Orange
Most dogs love to play with balls. This is a ball.
It squeaks and can handle a lot of strong chewing. Quite durable and a good size for medium and up sized dogs. (Honestly even smaller dogs would have fun with this).

Heavy duty for sure
Color: Purple
Heavy duty toy. This ball has some weight to it! I have a smaller laber doodle that thinks she's a German Shepard so no toy is too big or heavy for her. She's been chewing on this for months but you'd never know it. The squeaker is even hard for me to activate with my hands. She hits it in the right spot every now and again and gets excited about it. Great if your not crazy about hearing a squeaker squeaking non stop!

All dog sizes can enjoy this ball!
Color: Orange
This is a terrific dog ball! Our Pittie can't tear it apart on day 2 which is unusual! Also, its big enough that he can't swallow it but not so huge that our mini Doodle can't enjoy it too! We have more than one of these to keep our pups busy!
