Hand painting of the glass with gold or platinum

Painting with gold or platinum belongs to the original decorations of Moser´s products.

Dextrous painters apply thin threads of gold and platinum with a fine brush not only at the rim of a glass, but also on previously engraved or sandblasted motives.
