Description from the seller

Beautiful set consisting of 8 glasses in antique Baccarat crystal, including 4 glasses of the Renaissance model and 4 glasses of the Ballon model.
The two models share a very close aesthetic, characterized by an elegant profile with vertical ribbing and a finely worked stem.
The Ballon model is distinguished by a slightly wider and rounded bowl, while the Renaissance model is a little more elongated.
The set is visually very harmonious and the glasses pair perfectly with each other, forming a cohesive and elegant service.
The glasses fluoresce under UV light at 365 nm, a phenomenon due to the presence of manganese used at the time as a decolorizing agent for crystal, a typical characteristic of older productions
In very good condition.
