And date back as early as 1910 to 1920; however, we could not confirm the date.

Pieces today, with an average pour size of about 3 to 4 ounces. These stems are in the right design and the glass has the feel and they carry a resonating chime sound when lightly struck of extremely fine crystal.Plus, they are not marked. Modern Moser crystal carries an acid etched maker's mark whereas a vast majority of vintage Moser glass does not.
