WILLEM MOOLEYSER (Circa 1640-1700) Except for the fact that he was married and had a son Isaac, very little is known about Mooleyser. He was born in Middelburg and lived in Rotterdam. Nine glasses with Mooleyser's signature or monogram are known and many other glasses have to be attributed to him on stylistic grounds (see P.C. Ritsema van Eck, Glass in the Rijksmuseum, Zwolle, 1995, p. 470 for an extensive discussion about Willem Mooleyser).
