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 rarissima service signed Christian Dior was born. Made in France around the 1980s (a golden period for the Dior Maison line), this set perfectly embodies the sophisticated, geometric, and avant-garde aesthetics typical of vintage design.
Each piece stands out for a heavy crystal of the highest quality, with impeccable brilliance and echo. The design is a triumph of formal rigor and elegance: the cup features a clear, sharp hexagonal facet that captures and reflects light in a spectacular way. The true sculptural element is the inverted truncated pyramid stem, segmented by a series of tight and tapering rings that provide a solid, ergonomic grip and an unparalleled dramatic impact at the table.
A service born not only to astonish but to redefine the concept of art de la table signed by one of the world’s most famous maisons.
Composition of the Service and Measurements (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 for highlighting the bubbles. Dimensions: Height 18 cm | Mouth 5 x 5.3 cm
4 Water/High Goblets – Majestic, with substantial weight and great stability. Dimensions: Height 13.5 cm | Mouth 7 x 7.5 cm
4 Wine Glasses – Proportioned to enhance great varieties 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: Circa 1980 (Vintage Design / Luxury Modern Vintage)
Material: Heavy crystal with high refractive index, hand-cut and hand-finished.
Signature/Brand: Each goblet bears the signature “Christian Dior” elegantly etched in acid on the hexagonal base, guaranteeing absolute authenticity.
Conditions / State of Preservation: The service is structurally intact: all pieces are strictly free of chips, cracks, or nicks on sharp edges. Being a vintage set used over time, some goblets show light superficial scratches from washing and use over the years. Please carefully view the detailed photo gallery, which is an integral part of the description, to assess the real condition of the pieces. The price reflects these minor signs of time.
Historical notes for the collector
In the 1980s, Christian Dior collaborated with the most prestigious European crystal makers to produce geometric table lines of the highest standard for its exclusive boutiques. Today, finding an entirely signed set without breaks represents an excellent purchasing opportunity for collectors and luxury vintage lovers, ideal for enriching a refined table or a high-class display case.
The service is shipped with professional and ultra-protective packaging, with each piece individually wrapped and traceable shipping.
