The Talleyrand series was created in 1937, inspired by the iconic Harcourt collection. It was named in honor of Talleyrand, the renowned French diplomat who was also celebrated as a gastronome. Its boldly sculpted six-sided flat cuts and the substantial form that gently flares toward the rim generate intricate, opulent reflections of light, casting a kaleidoscopic world within the glass. A versatile piece that gracefully complements water, wine, beer, cocktails, and soft drinks—while also serving beautifully for appetizers and desserts.

Baccarat
Baccarat is a French luxury crystal brand cherished by royal families around the world. Its origins trace back to 1764, when King Louis XV of France granted permission to establish a glassworks in the village of Baccarat, in the Lorraine region. In 1816, the first crystal glass was produced, and for over two centuries, master artisans have continued to weave light and shadow into works of art. To master the full process – blowing, cutting, and polishing – requires approximately 15 years of dedicated training. Baccarat has proudly produced more than 50 recipients of the prestigious M.O.F. (Meilleur Ouvrier de France), France’s highest honor for craftsmanship. Baccarat crystal is known as “full lead crystal”, meeting a rigorous standard of over 30% lead oxide content. As a result, only 60–70% of pieces meet the brand’s exacting criteria and are released as products; the remainder are discarded, reflecting an uncompromising pursuit of perfection. Its dazzling clarity and brilliance continue to captivate celebrities and connoisseurs worldwide. Baccarat adds a touch of radiance to celebratory occasions and possesses the power to elevate everyday moments into the extraordinary.
