The set includes four matching shot glasses, accompanied by a fifth example of slightly larger scale, along with a delicately formed low-profile bowl. Each glass features a faceted lower body with bold vertical optic cutting rising into a smooth, gently flared rim—substantial in hand and highly responsive to light.

The design reflects Baccarat’s late 20th-century optic-cut barware, characterized by bold vertical lens cutting and a faceted base—an elegant, modern interpretation of the house’s traditional geometry. Light moves easily across the cut surfaces, while the upper rims remain smooth and open, lending a sense of restraint.

The accompanying bowl provides a striking counterpoint. Thinly made with a continuous, unbroken curve, it introduces a softer, more fluid form—balancing the geometry of the cut crystal with a quietly luminous presence.

Together, the elements read as both functional and sculptural—equally suited to intimate service or as a composed vignette within a layered interior.

Each piece retains the original acid-etched Baccarat France mark to the underside, confirming authenticity. See less
