A Masterpiece of Luxury Glassmaking

This service belonged to BACCARAT’s most prestigious collections due to the complexity of its ornamentation. The intricate cuts require multiple wheels of varying angles, including for the stem and foot. The overlay Rhine wine glasses, crafted from colour-layered crystal, are particularly complex and costly to produce. The medallion and the gilded monogram engraving further enhance the refinement of the set.

The rarity of this model, its exquisite craftsmanship, and its remarkable condition make this service a truly exceptional ensemble.
