Alexandrite glass was produced from 1922 onwards. This is a Joseph Hoffmann design. however the designs were used long after Hoffmann. Dagobert Peche and other members of the Wiener Werkstatte had ceased to design for Moser and Sohne. 

All pieces are marked with an acid etched Moser within an oval. The r is extended and underlines the name. This mark was not used until 1946 and ceased to be used after 1954
