Set of 49 Exquise Baccarat Massena Crystal Pieces, France, 1990

Luxury at its finest, set of 24 high-end drink glasses in clear crystal and 1 decanter by Baccarat.

The Massena glassware showcases Baccarat’s meticulous craftsmanship. Deep orgue bevel cuts are etched directly into the Clear crystal, radiating from the foot of the glass to the base of the wide bowl. This, in turn, puts the smoothness of the upper bowl in sharp relief. The intricate detailing gives the Massena glass the appearance of impressive heft, as if it were a modern-day chalice. The polished silhouette and prismatic qualities make it worthy of any festive occasion or special soirée.

All pieces from the Massena collection share a scrupulously textural quality.

In mint condition.

Baccarat

In 1764, in eastern France, a group of daring craftsmen set out to transform the four elements of nature – earth, air, fire and water – into glass of absolute quality. In 1816, they perfected their well-kept secret formula to obtain a crystal of unparalleled purity. In 1855, for the first World Fair in Paris, Baccarat unveiled its unique original, soulful craftsmanship to the world.
