A set of five French crystal stemmed glasses with an engraved leaf frieze around the bowls; one glass has a small chip.
Description from the seller
Crystal stemmed glasses engraved with a band of leaves (laurel / olive branch style) around the rim.
This type of decoration is classic on 20th-century French glassware. Two main possibilities:
• Lalique Beauharnais model: a band of engraved leaves around the bowl (and sometimes the foot). The glasses are often signed “Lalique France” on the underside of the base.
• Baccarat Beauharnais model: Empire-style decoration with palmettes and laurel garlands (sometimes engraved or acid-etched). Older pieces (pre-1936) are often unsigned.
Other crystal makers (Saint-Louis, etc.) and unmarked productions also used similar foliage bands.
