Christian Dior - Drinking set for 6 (24) - Montaigne - Crystal - Full service

Exclusive Crystal Glass Tableware Service by Christian Dior – 24 Pieces (Manufacture from the 1980s).

Where haute couture mastery meets the art of the table, this extraordinary and rare service signed Christian Dior, Montaigne model, was born.

Made in France around the 1980s (the golden era for the Dior Maison line), this set perfectly embodies the sophisticated, geometric, and avant-garde aesthetic typical of period design.

IMPORTANT NOTE ON CONDITION (Catawiki Transparency):
The service is structurally intact, with no chips or hairlines. For maximum clarity and fairness to bidders, please note that the category of large water goblets shows the most signs of use compared to the rest of the set; VIEW PHOTOS.
In particular, two of the water goblets are visibly scratched inside the bowl due to incorrect washing with an abrasive sponge performed by the previous owner (the concentric scratches are well documented in the backlit photos). The other four water goblets are not new, but show normal wear and light washing scratches consistent with regular use over time.
The remaining pieces of the service (flutes, wine, and cognac) are in GOOD vintage overall condition.
The photo gallery is an integral part of the description: please view it carefully before bidding. The reserve price adequately reflects the condition of the water goblets.

Design Features
Each piece stands out for exceptionally heavy crystal of the highest quality, with flawless luster and echo. The design is a triumph of formal rigor and elegance: the cup features a clear, strict faceted hexagonal shape that captures and reflects light spectacularly. The true sculptural element is the inverted truncated pyramid stem, punctuated by a series of tight and tapering rings that provide a solid, ergonomic grip and a dramatic presence on the table.
