The most exclusive and respected of Bohemian glassmakers, Moser was founded in Karlovy Vary in 1857 and is famous for its rich and flamboyant designs. The shop on Na Příkopě is probably more for browsing than for the glass (even small items cost thousands of crowns) as it’s in a magnificently decorated, originally Gothic building called the House of the Black Rose (dům U černé růže).
