Crafted from substantial 24% lead crystal, the collection is distinguished by its elegant faceted silhouette and characteristic horizontal ribbed detailing around the base.

The design is distinctly architectural, with softly faceted, slightly flattened geometric forms complemented by a series of horizontal ribs around the lower section of both the tumblers and decanter. The substantial crystal bases give the pieces an impressive weight and beautifully refract the light.

Particularly rare as a complete seven-piece ensemble, the set has survived in remarkable condition. The original Christian Dior label remains attached to the decanter, and the matching stopper is also exceptionally well preserved.
The overall condition strongly suggests that the set was either unused or used extremely sparingly.


Dimensions: Decanter: height 26 cm / 10.2 in; width 11 cm / 4.3 in; depth 8 cm / 3.1 in. Each tumbler: height 10 cm / 3.9 in; width 8 cm / 3.1 in; depth 7 cm / 2.8 in.

Condition: Excellent vintage condition. No chips, cracks or visible structural damage. No significant scratches or noticeable signs of use were observed on the glasses, decanter, bases or stopper. Original Christian Dior label retained on the decanter; Christian Dior signature present on the decanter and each of the six tumblers. (The photographs form an integral part of the .)
