The breathtaking range of Moser colours inspired Jiří Šuhájek to invent an innovative way of working with colour. The first vases from the Four Seasons set were produced in the glassworks back in 1998. The author personally took part in their patterning at the glass furnace to recreate the collaboration of glassblowers and artists found in studio production.

Design and production
When opal flatters the crystal
In the same way hot days change into the frosty ones over the course of the year, the Four Seasons collection works with contrasts in perfect harmony. Both the traditional Moser colours and clear hand-cut crystal join with opals, while the round inner shapes are framed with a precise outer cut. This collection’s origin is in the desire to experiment: world-renowned glass designer Jiří Šuhájek took a creative approach to the unique colours of the Moser crystal glass and infused them with new spirit. This way, your home can boast a vase that unites traditional glassworking craft with modern shapes and colouring.
Hand-blown from environmentally friendly lead-free crystal
