Baccarat Pierreries Carafe Decanter Limited Edition - Haute Cristallerie
DESCRIPTION Sydney’s only Baccarat destination. Discover the 1909 Pierreries decanter in emerald and clear crystal, showcasing Baccarat’s master cutting. Limited to 50 pieces worldwide Created for the International Exhibition of Eastern France in Nancy in 1909, the Pierreries decanter bears witness to the expertise of Baccarat artisans in the art of rich cutting. Through the repetition of its geometric motifs and its refined form, it foreshadows the emerging codes of Art Deco. Also known as Flers, it reveals a conical silhouette, 45,6 centimeters high and 11 centimeters in diameter, crafted in double cased crystal, whose balance relies on the steady, powerful breath of the master glassblowers. Emerging from the “hot” workshops in a deep green hue, it gradually reveals its full radiance through the cutting process. Under the cutter’s hand, the emerald crystal layer slowly recedes, allowing the clear crystal to appear. Using a multitude of grinding wheels, each incision engages the material with irreversible precision. The decanter is then adorned with wide bands cut in diamond “pierreries”, unveiling a constellation of colored octagons that refract light with striking intensity Baccarat has stood at the forefront of French crystal artistry since 1764, when it was founded by royal decree in the village of Baccarat, Lorraine. From its origins in the village of Baccarat, every piece has been meticulously handcrafted in France, embodying clarity, brilliance, and timeless artistry. Known for its signature red crystal — tinted with 24-karat gold — and iconic designs like the Harcourt glass, Baccarat continues to illuminate the world’s most refined interiors. Today, it stands as a symbol of enduring elegance and exceptional craftsmanship, where tradition meets innovation in every detail. This piece is brand new, sourced directly from Baccarat, and embodies pristine condition and authentic French crystal craftsmanship.
