How to Design a Custom Crystal Piece with the Moser Configurator

Updated

Moser's site includes a tool called My Moser Configurator, described as a way to "Design your original crystal piece." It is the starting point if you want a piece built around your own choices rather than a standard catalogue item. The configurator is best suited to buyers who already know roughly what they want — a vase, a drinking set, a decanter — and want to adjust it, since the site presents it alongside defined collections and product types rather than as a blank canvas.

What the configurator is for

Moser describes its glass as hand-blown, hand-cut and hand-engraved, following the approach of founder Ludwig Moser. The configurator sits within that framework: you are personalising a handcrafted piece, not assembling a mass-produced product.

The site pairs the configurator with a "Create your own collection" prompt and a "Shop now" link, which suggests two related paths:

  • Start from the configurator if you want to design an original piece.
  • Start from a collection or product page if you want a specific existing design and then personalise it.

Step-by-step: from entry point to finished design

  1. Open the configurator. Use the "My Moser Configurator – Design your original crystal piece" entry on the site. This is the dedicated design tool, separate from ordinary product listings.
  2. Choose your starting point. Decide whether you are beginning from a collection (for example Aura, Decent, Axis, Pear, Royal, Magnus, Cubism, Diva, Four Seasons) or from a specific product type such as a vase, tumbler, decanter, brandy glass or margarita glass.
  3. Select the piece and its parameters. Product listings show capacity and size where relevant — for example a Decent margarita glass at 320 ml, a Decent brandy glass at 260 ml, an Axis decanter at 1000 ml, or vases at 13 cm, 16 cm, 19 cm, 20 cm, 21 cm, 23 cm, 26 cm, 30 cm and 35 cm. Use these as your reference points when configuring.
  4. Choose colour variants where offered. Several pieces list multiple colour options — for example the Whisky Set tumblers show 3 colour variants, the Diva vase shows 8 colour variants, and the Cocktail Set shows 9 colour variants. Colour availability is product-specific, so check the individual item.
  5. Review the result and proceed to purchase. The site uses "purchase" and "subscribe" as its commercial signals; the configurator feeds into the normal shop flow rather than a separate ordering channel.

Expected result: a defined crystal piece with your chosen form, size and (where available) colour, ready to move into the purchase process.

What affects what you can configure

Factor What the site shows What it means for you
Collection Aura, Decent, Axis, Pear, Royal, Magnus, Cubism, Diva, Four Seasons, Echoes Sets the design language before you personalise
Product type Vases, tumblers, decanters, brandy and margarita glasses, tasting sets Determines the shape you are working with
Size / capacity Vases 13–35 cm; glasses 240–370 ml; decanter 1000 ml Constrains the scale of the finished piece
Colour 2, 3, 8 or 9 variants depending on item Not every piece offers the same palette
Edition status "Limited edition", "Ultra-limited", annual production limits (e.g. Aura at 12 pcs) Limited pieces may restrict how far you can customise

Common sticking points

  • Not every product is configurable. Limited and ultra-limited pieces — such as the Axis vase at 11,519.00 $, the Václav Havel 90 vase at 5,079.00 $, or the Pear vase in uranium at 1,085.00 $ — are defined editions. Treat the configurator as the route for original designs, and the collection pages as the route for editions.
  • Colour options vary by item. Seeing "9 colour variants" on one product does not mean the same choice exists elsewhere.
  • Prices are shown per piece and vary widely. Listed examples run from 205.00 $ (Decent brandy glass) to 11,519.00 $ (Axis vase), with many items marked "Online exclusive" or "New". The site does not state that any piece is free, and pricing is displayed rather than negotiated.
  • Edition limits are real constraints. Where the site gives an annual production limit, that number caps output regardless of configuration choices.

A practical example

Suppose you want a vase in the Aura design. You would open the configurator, select the Aura collection, choose a size from the listed options (21 cm, 26 cm or 35 cm), pick from the available colour variants, and then move to purchase. If instead you wanted the Václav Havel 90 vase, you would go to that product page directly — it is presented as a fixed piece ("With heart"), not as a configurable one.

Before you start

Have a clear idea of the collection or product type you want, the size that fits your use, and whether colour matters to you. That way the configurator narrows your options quickly instead of presenting the full range at once. If you are unsure, browse the collections first — Aura, Decent, Axis, Pear, Royal, Magnus, Cubism, Diva and Four Seasons each carry a distinct design identity — then return to the configurator with a direction in mind.
