Description from the seller

Exclusive Crystal Glass Table Service by Christian Dior – 16 Pieces (Manufactured in the 1980s).

Where the mastery of haute couture meets the art of the table, this extraordinary and rarity service signed Christian Dior was born. Made in France around the 1980s (the golden period 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 a heavy, high-quality crystal, with impeccable brilliance and echo. The design is a triumph of formal rigor and elegance: the cup features a clear, sharp hexagonal facets that capture and reflect light in a spectacular way. The true sculptural element is the inverted truncated pyramid stem, marked by a series of tight, tapering rings that provide a solid, ergonomic grip and an unrivaled dramatic impact on the table.

A service born not only to amaze, but to redefine the concept of art de la table signed by one of the most famous houses in the world.

Composition of the Service and Measurements (Total 16 Pieces)

The service is perfectly calibrated for 4 people and is composed of 4 stems for each of the 4 models:

4 Champagne Flutes – Slender and elegant, ideal for accentuating the bubbles. Dimensions: Height 18 cm | Opening 5 x 5.3 cm
4 Water / Goblet Glasses – Majestic, heavy and very stable. Dimensions: Height 13.5 cm | Opening 7 x 7.5 cm
4 Wine Glasses – Proportioned to bring out the great varietals with geometric style. Dimensions: Height 12.5 cm | Opening 6.5 x 6.3 cm
4 Cognac / Digestif Glasses – Small masterpieces in miniature that faithfully replicate the proportions of the larger glasses. Dimensions: Height 8 cm | Opening 4.2 x 4 cm

Technical Details and Conditions
Brand: Christian Dior (France)
