Description from the seller
BACCARAT – Liqueur service
Cut crystal, varied hues
Baccarat House – Early 20th century
A rare and elegant wine service in colored crystal, comprising six matching glasses, made by the prestigious Baccarat house, a symbol of excellence in French glassmaking for over two centuries.
The ensemble is distinguished by the purity of its lines, the finesse of the cut crystal, and its subtle varied hues – emerald green, chartreuse green, golden amber, amethyst, ruby and sapphire – capturing light reflections with remarkable intensity, a hallmark of Baccarat productions from the early 20th century.
The slender silhouettes of the glasses, with curved bowls adorned with arched facets and precisely cut panels, respond in harmony to the absolute transparency of the stems and feet, creating a set that is at once sober and refined.
Each glass, with sculptural body and architectural form, testifies to great glassmaking mastery, where the cuts show a perfect balance between decorative elegance and functionality. The set is authenticated by the Baccarat mark, guaranteeing its origin and its affiliation with one of the most important French artistic crystalworks.
This service perfectly illustrates the aesthetic of the era, where the art of crystal serves daily life with a keen sense of form and light. It today constitutes a sought-after collector’s piece, suitable for display in a vitrine as well as for a high-level decorative presentation.
Composition:
– 5 matching glasses
Dimensions approximatives:
– Height: 19 cm
– Diameter: 8 cm
Condition: very good condition, with light traces compatible with age, no major alterations. A rare decorative object, ideal for Baccarat collectors, Art Nouveau enthusiasts and French decorative arts lovers.
Shipped insured and to a pickup point if possible. The images are part of the description.
