Introduce a touch of mid-century French luxury to your home with this set of six crystal liqueur glasses from the world-famous Pompadour line. Crafted by Cristal d’Arques during an era when French glassware set the global standard for elegance, the Pompadour series is beloved for its sparkling light refraction and solid, high-quality feel. These 11 cm glasses are ideally proportioned for liqueur for a formally set table.
Craftsmanship & Design
Each glass is masterfully crafted from genuine 24% lead crystal (PbO), ensuring a level of clarity and refraction that ordinary glass simply cannot match. The design features:
-
The Bowl: A compact, tulip-shaped bowl adorned with a deep, hand-polished diamond-cut pattern at the base. These facets act as prisms, catching and scattering light across your tabletop.
-
The Stem & Foot: A traditional, sturdy faceted stem that provides a secure, ergonomic grip, leading down to a tiered, circular base for excellent stability.
Versatility & Styling
Standing at approximately 10 to 11 cm, these are the smallest “cordial” or digestif glasses in the Pompadour series. They are designed to concentrate the aromas and flavors of strong liqueurs, such as limoncello, grappa, amaretto, or traditional liqueurs. Displayed on a bar cart or a vintage silver tray, they add an instant layer of Hollywood Regency glamour.
