This listing is the CONNOISSEUR’S CHOICE for a very rarely seen HUGE ANTIQUE 8” Brandy snifter made by Moser (Rowland Ward also worked closely with Moser on the Safari collection of similar style and type glassware). I can find no signs of use….but have described them as used. Moser glass is lead free but these are still a lovely weight in the hand. The ring from these glasses is long, sonorous and enduring for about 15 secs…..what a lovely tone!!🦻 This exquisite HUGE brandy snifter is a true masterpiece of hand engraved craftsmanship. Many glasses are acid etched to achieve the shapes but as you can see, close up these are fine lines engraved very artistically to show off these woodland birds. KMade from high-quality crystal and engraved with intricate WILD BIRDS OF THE FOREST designs, it is a stunning addition to any collection. The 8" size is perfect for holding and enjoying the aroma your favourite brandy or cognac.

These snifters were made in AUSTRIA now CZECHIA in the early 1900’s and is a rare find. The brand is Moser and the style is a balloon snifter. It is perfect for collectors of breweriana or vintage drinkware. Great to use and superb also to display in your cabinet if you are a collector. Also for the connoisseur it makes that very special gift. Please see my other listings for Moser or Rowland Ward glass

Imagine the joy in front of the fire, gently swirling your favourite brandy or cognac around and catching the gentle wafting notes of the tipple you are about to imbibe in…..!!
