Description from the seller

Crystal wine carafe produced by the renowned French manufacturer Saint-Louis, belonging to their famous Massenet model.
Made of transparent crystal, often mouth-blown and hand-polished, a technique dating back to 1895, the year the model was created.
The Massenet model is known for its classic and rich design, characterized by:
Star cuts: A star or fan-shaped motif radiates from the base of the carafe.
Crossed bevels: The decoration features intersecting bevels designed to make the crystal sparkle and play with the light.
Grooved neck: The high and slender neck features vertical grooves that rise towards the cap.
The coordinated cap is faceted and cut in a pointed shape, contributing to the overall elegance of the piece.
It is considered an iconic model of the Belle Époque style, a symbol of the refinement and savoir-faire of French crystal.
It is engraved on the bottom 'St. Louis Cristal France'.
Excellent condition, no scratches or chips.

Dimensions: 35x11cm.
Weight: 1.2Kg
