The "Michelangelo" designation likely reflects the Renaissance-inspired design evocative of terroir and vineyards, featuring intertwining vine motifs and swirling scrolls. The bottle bears the acid-etched Baccarat France mark on the underside, a circle enclosing a carafe, goblet, and wine glass, used after the 1920s.

Baccarat and Martell began collaborating in the early 20th century, using Baccarat's crystal craftsmanship for luxury cognac decanters. Their collaboration continued with limited-edition and prestige releases, including designs like the Michelangelo decanter. A recent version of this decanter — a special edition hand-painted in gold and enamel and filled with Martell’s 72-Year-Old Grande Champagne cognac — sold for a record price at Christie’s Fine and Rare Wines & Spirits sale in December 2024.

Serving spirits from this decanter is sure to elevate any occasion as well as enhance your bar decor or collection. Destined to be cherished and passed down through generations, it is a timeless piece for collectors, connoisseurs, or those seeking a truly luxurious gift.
