Overview
A stunning set of eight lead crystal champagne flutes featuring the iconic, minimalist 'Dom Perignon' silhouette. These glasses are celebrated for their elongated, seamless bowls and slender stems, designed specifically to preserve the carbonation and bouquet of fine vintage champagne.
Story
Created in the 1960s to honor the monk who pioneered champagne, these flutes became the gold standard for luxury. Their simple, unadorned profile proves that true elegance doesn't need to shout to be heard.
Maker / Origin
Founded in 1764 by royal decree of King Louis XV, Baccarat has survived revolutions and wars to become the world's most prestigious crystal manufacturer. Known as the 'Crystal of Kings,' they have provided glassware for French emperors, Russian Tsars, and countless heads of state.
Condition & Value
The flutes appear clear and well-maintained in the photo. Any tiny 'flea bites' or chips on the delicate rims would reduce the value of the set by 20-30% per damaged glass. Excellent condition for a set of eight is highly desirable. Individual flutes in this pattern typically retail for $160-$200 each.
