Description from the seller
Magnificent 12-glass liqueur service in Sèvres crystal from the 1960s-70s (model to be determined).
La Cristallerie de Sèvres (often associated today with the trade mark Cristal de Sèvres) is a historic establishment of French glassmaking, whose renown is closely tied to the history of tableware and luxury arts.
The original production site in Sèvres ceased industrial activity in the early 20th century (leaving its name to a neighborhood and a street in the commune), but the Cristal de Sèvres brand has survived through time.
- The “diamond” and “star” cut: The cup (the upper part) features a deep cross-cut that catches the light, often called the “diamond point cut,” surmounted by star or palmette motifs at the rim. It is a classic in 20th-century tableware, very close to iconic models (such as the Chenonceau model or similar creations by Baccarat or Saint-Louis).
- The cut stem: The glass stem is not smooth; it is also faceted, which is a mark of high-quality craftsmanship.
- The starry foot: The base of each glass (the foot) features a radiating star cut underneath, a finish typical of luxury crystal makers to maximize light refraction on a tablecloth.
This type of service generally includes different sizes to suit various beverages at a grand dinner (water glasses, red wine glasses, white wine glasses…). Here they are liqueur glasses.
This is a magnificent series, especially bright thanks to the density of its cut, which catches the slightest sunray.
For this precise model, the absence of a maker’s mark is not rare and simply confirms production from the early period of the model.
In excellent condition. See the photos; they are an integral part of the description.
Fast and careful shipping with tracking worldwide.
