Description from the seller
Set of 6 Superior French Crystal Goblets
Design a Faceted Stem – Handcrafted in the early 1900s
This refined set of six goblets is a masterful example of how classic French design can fuse purity and complexity. Characterized by a slender line and absolute transparency, these pieces represent the excellence of upstairs-style crystal glassmaking from the Belle Époque period.
Premium Executive Features
Architecture of the Stem (Faceted Stem): The stem is not a simple column but is worked with flat, hand-smoothed facets. This technique transforms the glass into a prism that disperses light into crystalline bursts, while also offering a solid and pleasant grip to the touch.
The Tulip Bowl: The cup features an open, tulip-shaped form, ideal for emphasizing the brilliance of its contents. At the base of the cup, at the junction with the stem, there is delicate work with geometric steps that recall flower petals, a detail that adds visual depth to the piece.
High-Quality Crystal: The material used stands out for its exceptional purity. Free of inclusions or bubbles, the crystal possesses the characteristic cool, silvery luster that distinguishes the finest French productions, along with a clear and persistent ring.
Technical Details and Conservation
Origin: France.
Period: Late 19th / Early 20th Century.
Technique: Mouth-blown and finished on a manual wheel.
Condition: Impeccable conservation. The crystal surface is vivid and bright, confirming the excellent care it has received over time.
Why this set is special
Unlike heavily engraved models, these goblets rely on the natural refraction of pure crystal. Their minimalist yet refined aesthetics make them perfect for a rigorously period-accurate dining table, as well as for a modern and sophisticated mise en place that seeks pieces with historical character.
Height 21.4 cm
Ø mouth 6.4 cm
