J.G. Durand - Drinking set (59) - Florence Satine - Crystal

Set of lead crystal wine and table glasses (minimum 24% PbO) consisting of a total of 59 pieces. The items are produced by the French manufacturer Cristal d'Arques / J.G. Durand and belong to the model "Florence Satine", dating from the late 20th century (roughly 1980s–1990s). The production region specified is Hauts-de-France, the city of Arques. The design is in the modern vintage style and is characterized by a frosted ice-like finish on the lower part of the bowls, with a staggered petal pattern coordinated to each format. When the glasses are displayed or stacked together, the geometry and proximity of the frosted bases visually recreate a striking and elegant bouquet-like effect as a whole. The stem of the goblets is slender and features a button-like element at the junction with the bowl. Each piece bears the official manufacturer’s inscription etched on the bottom of the circular foot. The crystal is clear, bright, and of light weight. The service is divided by formats and sizes as follows: 11 tall champagne flutes (Flute type) for champagne (Height about 19.5 cm, Diameter about 5.7 cm). 11 large water goblets (Height about 17.5 cm, Diameter about 8.5 cm). 10 small wine goblets (Height about 16.5 cm, Diameter about 7.5 cm). 10 coupe-style champagne or dessert coupes (Height about 13.5 cm, Diameter about 10.0 cm). 11 low tumblers for whisky or water (Height about 9.0 cm, Diameter about 8.0 cm). 6 balloon glasses in Ballon style for brandy or amaro (Height about 11.5 cm, Diameter about 8.0 cm). The service is in excellent condition, like new, with no signs of wear from use or washing. The satin is intact and free of scratches. The crystal is clear and shows no nicks, cracks, or thread marks along the rims or on the bases. Shipping is carried out by traceable express courier and is divided into two separate parcels for safety and total weight considerations (estimated finished parcel weight about 13–14 kg). The packaging is done professionally and reinforced, with each individual piece wrapped in shock-absorbing protective material.
