Montcenis - Drinking set - Pointed diamond - Crystal

Elegant early 19th-century decanter attributed to the Montcenis production (linked to the historic crystal houses of Baccarat and Saint-Louis). Montcenis was known for its exceptionally clear crystal and refined craftsmanship, which later shaped the prestige of these renowned French manufactures. Dating circa 1820-1830, this decanter is remarkably well preserved. The body is perfectly transparent, brilliant, and free of flaws. Only the base of the stopper shows a few small chips that are expected for its age without affecting the beauty or functionality of the piece. A sophisticated and rare example of early French crystal, combining purity, elegance and superb craftsmanship. Height - 23,3 cm Top Diameter - 4,6 cm Base Diameter - 5,5 cm Circumference - 24,7 cm
