Made in France and individually signed with the Baccarat acid-etched mark to the bases, the set represents the exceptional quality and refinement for which the celebrated French crystal house is renowned. Each glass features a beautifully proportioned bowl encircled by an elaborate gilt frieze of naturalistic oak leaves and acorns. The decoration is framed by broad polished gold bands, with additional gilding highlighting the lip and foot to create a particularly luxurious presentation. The bowls are raised upon elegant hexagonally faceted stems, which catch and refract the light while providing an architectural contrast to the intricate botanical decoration above. The exceptional clarity and brilliance of the crystal further accentuate the richly polished gold ornamentation. The Colorado pattern is among Baccarat's particularly opulent decorated tableware designs, combining classical French crystal craftsmanship with lavish precious-metal decoration. The oak leaf and acorn motif lends the glasses a timeless character that works equally well within traditional and contemporary table settings. Standing approximately 5.25 inches high, these glasses are ideally proportioned for serving port, dessert wines and other after-dinner drinks. Presented as a matching set of six, they make an impressive addition to a Baccarat collection or a sophisticated dining and bar setting. Two sets of six are available at the time of listing. Coordinating Baccarat Colorado pieces, including water jugs, decanters and additional glassware, are also available separately.
