Description from the seller
Exclusive Crystal Glass Table Service by Christian Dior – 16 Pieces (Manufactured in the 1980s).
Where haute couture mastery meets the art of the table, this extraordinary and extremely rare service signed Christian Dior is born. Made in France around the 1980s (the golden era for the Dior Maison line), this set perfectly embodies the sophisticated, geometric, and avant-garde aesthetic typical of vintage design.
Each piece stands out for its heavy crystal of the highest quality, with impeccable brilliance and echo. The design is a triumph of formal rigor and elegance: the coupe features a sharp, net hexagonal facet that catches and reflects light in a spectacular way. The true sculptural element is the inverted truncated pyramid stem, marked by a series of tight, graduous rings that provide a solid, ergonomic grip and an unparalleled dramatic impact on the table.
A service born not only to impress but to redefine the concept of art de la table signed by one of the world’s most renowned maisons.
Composition of the Service and Dimensions (16 Pieces Total)
The service is perfectly calibrated for 4 people and consists of 4 goblets for each of the 4 models:
4 Champagne Flutes – Slender and elegant, ideal to enhance the bubbles. Dimensions: Height 18 cm | Mouth 5 x 5.3 cm
4 Water/Grande Goblets – Majestic, with substantial weight and great stability. Dimensions: Height 13.5 cm | Mouth 7 x 7.5 cm
4 Wine Goblets – Proportioned to exalt the great varietals with geometric style. Dimensions: Height 12.5 cm | Mouth 6.5 x 6.3 cm
4 Cognac / Digestif Glasses – Small masterpieces in miniature that faithfully replicate the proportions of the larger goblets. Dimensions: Height 8 cm | Mouth 4.2 x 4 cm
Technical Details and Conditions
Brand: Christian Dior (France)
Estimated Period: Approximately 1980 (Vintage Design / Luxury Modern Antiquity)
Material: Heavy crystal with high refractive index, cut and finished by hand.
Signature/Branding: Each glass bears the signature “Christian Dior” elegantly acid-etched on the hexagonal base, absolute guarantee of authenticity.
Condition / State of preservation: The service is structurally intact: all pieces are strictly free of chips, nicks, or chips on the sharp edges. Being a vintage set used over time, some glasses show light superficial scratches due to washing and use over the years. Please review the detailed photographic gallery, which is an integral part of the description, to assess the real condition of the pieces. The price accounts for these minor signs of aging.
Historical notes for the collector
In the 1980s, Christian Dior collaborated with the most prestigious European crystal manufacturers to produce highly geometric table lines destined for the brand’s exclusive boutiques. Today, finding a fully signed set free of breaks represents an excellent acquisition opportunity for collectors and luxury vintage enthusiasts, ideal to enrich a refined table setting or a high-class display.
The service will be shipped with professional, ultra-protected packaging, with each piece packed individually and traceable shipping.
