Description from the seller
An elegant Saint-Louis crystal water pitcher, model “Cerdagne”, introduced in 1955 and distinguished by its bold, deep vertical cuts inspired by the mountain peaks of the Cerdagne region in the French Pyrenees. This timeless design remains one of the most iconic creations of the prestigious Cristallerie Saint-Louis and is still highly appreciated by collectors.
Expertly crafted from fine French crystal, the pitcher features a gracefully curved silhouette, a beautifully balanced handle, and a generous pouring spout. The deep faceted cuts enhance the brilliance and clarity of the crystal, creating exceptional reflections in the light.
The piece is signed “Saint-Louis” on the base, confirming its authenticity.
The pitcher is in excellent vintage condition, with outstanding crystal clarity and brilliance. It shows only minor age-related signs of use, including one light surface scratch, consistent with careful use over the years. No chips, cracks or restorations are present.
A refined and highly collectible example of post-war French crystal, equally suitable for elegant table settings or as a decorative display piece.
Height — 21.5 cm
Top diameter — 9.5x12 cm
