Baccarat - Drinking set for 6 (6) - Crystal - 1916

A refined set of six Baccarat crystal wine glasses, dating from the early 20th century. Each glass showcases the maison’s signature craftsmanship: a delicately faceted bowl with a diamond-cut motif that catches the light beautifully, resting on an elegant baluster stem and wide foot. The proportions are graceful and balanced, with a height of approximately 12 cm, making them ideal for serving Fortified wine or fine liqueurs. The clarity and brilliance of the crystal, combined with the precise hand-cut decoration, reflect Baccarat’s reputation as one of the world’s foremost glassmakers. Timeless in design yet distinctly of its era, this set represents both functionality and artistry. Perfect for collectors of antique crystal or for those wishing to elevate a fine dining experience, these glasses embody the elegance and refinement for which Baccarat has been celebrated since the 18th century. Baccarat is one of the most prestigious crystal manufacturers in the world, founded in 1764 in the village of Baccarat, in northeastern France, under the patronage of King Louis XV. Originally a glassworks producing window panes, mirrors, and stemware, the factory shifted to crystal production in 1816, quickly gaining international acclaim for the clarity and brilliance of its creations. By the 19th century, Baccarat had become synonymous with luxury and refinement, supplying royal courts and aristocracy across Europe, Russia, and the Middle East. The company showcased its masterpieces at the great World Exhibitions in Paris and became known for its innovation in cut crystal designs, chandeliers, and tableware. Today, Baccarat remains a symbol of French excellence in fine crystal, blending centuries-old craftsmanship with contemporary design, while its antique pieces—like early 20th-century stemware—are highly prized by collectors worldwide. Will be well packaged, protected and insured
