"The design is timeless", as Maximilian Riedel explained at the product launch, as is the music of its namesake, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, with whom the company shares the same birth year, 1756.
The glassblowers at the Kufstein glassworks are true masters of their craft and this is shown by the fact that even the challenge of designs with three or more colored stripes can be accomplished by these talented artists.
