Description from the seller

The Harcourt 1841 collection, the oldest in Baccarat's archives, is renowned for its iconic design. Since their creation in 1841, the Harcourt 1841 glasses have been chosen by Pope John Paul II, the Queen of Thailand, the King of Morocco, and many other prominent figures. The architectural form of the Harcourt clear crystal decanter is characterized by the flat cuts that encircle the spherical base and the broad neck of the decanter. These details give it dimensionality, adding great optical depth, especially when the crystal refracts light. As a final touch, the elegant curvature of the handle counterbalances the sharpness of the flat cuts.
