Wine carafe with a handle—known as an “aiguière”—made of Baccarat crystal, Juvisy model.
The Juvisy model is one of the crystal manufacturer’s most famous designs, chosen by Émile Loubet in 1899 to become the official service of the Élysée Palace. This superb design, created in 1867 for the World’s Fair, is a masterpiece: it consists of scales intertwined with one another, yet all identical, with no misalignment whatsoever. It is through the perfection of these pieces (entirely handcrafted!) that one can gauge Baccarat’s technical supremacy. The stems and bases are star-shaped.
As an antique piece, it has retained its rare paper label, which has generally been lost. The model is listed in numerous tableware catalogs from the late 19th and 20th centuries. As a collector’s item, these ewers are the rarest and most luxurious model in this design.
It is in excellent condition; no damage, original stopper.
Height: 29 cm (23 cm without stopper)
