Overview
A set of eight lead crystal champagne flutes featuring the iconic minimalist 'Dom Perignon' silhouette. These glasses are celebrated for their seamless transition from stem to bowl and their exceptional clarity and resonance.
Story
Created in honor of the monk who pioneered champagne, these flutes were designed to be the ultimate vessel for vintage bubbles. Their sleek, unadorned profile reflects the 1990s shift toward 'quiet luxury' in fine dining.
Maker / Origin
Founded in 1764 by royal decree of King Louis XV, Baccarat has provided glassware to emperors, kings, and presidents for over 250 years. Known as the 'Crystal of Kings,' they are world-renowned for their high lead content and flawless hand-finishing.
Condition & Value
The glasses appear clear and well-maintained in the photo. Any tiny chips on the rim or base (common in estate crystal) would significantly reduce the value of the set. Excellent condition with no clouding is essential for top-tier pricing. Individual flutes in this pattern typically sell for $75–$125 each on the secondary market.
