JapanX Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Ludwig Moser&Söhne Company was founded in 1857 by Ludwig Moser (1833-1916) in Karlovy Vary. It was a glass workshop initially polishing and engraving and later designing and making the finest quality colourless and decorated art glass products. Quality pays and in 1904 Moser received a warrant to supply the Imperial Court of the Emperor of Austria. Four years later became supplier to Edward VII. These (and many others, for example Pope Pius XI and Turkish sultan Abdul Hamid II) royal clients made the company slogan King of Glass, Glass of Kings more than legit.
