THE HOLIDAYS ARE COMING! THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT GIFT. I WILL GIFT WRAP FOR $10.00. ALSO WE CAN SHIP TO A THIRD PARTY AFTER PREARRANGEMENTS AND AFTER PAYMENT. ****** THIS IS THE BEST AND MOST IMPRESSIVE INTAGLIO-CUT GILT CHARGER YOU WILL FIND, ATTRIBUTED TO MOSER! I CANNOT FIND A SCRATCH, A NICK, A CHIP, A FLEA BITE, RESIDUE OR ANY OTHER DAMAGE! This Exquisite Antique, created circa 1870?s, has some slight appropriate and expected age-wear to the gilding in the intaglio-cut areas, but the heavy gilding on the outer octagonal edges and on the handles is in Near-Mint Condition.

There is a Beautiful Intaglio-Cut Gilt Wreath of design around the flat flare of the charger, done in Matching Flowers, Berries, Leaves, and Ferns. I have taken photos of this piece against a white background, and other photos against a wooden background to show you the Magnificence of this Bohemian Moser-attributed Masterpiece. Intaglio cutting is done on the underside of the glass. The gilding is then applied into the cutting. This makes the surface perfectly smooth, and in use, the gilding in the Intaglio cuttings is protected from wear from the top surface of the charger. The handles are very heavy and reinforced glass, and the gilding is very heavy at the handles. The octagonal outer edge is also heavily gilt, and the Total Effect is downright Opulent! NO TWO PIECES OF INTAGLIO-CUT AND GILT GLASS ARE EXACTLY ...
