Baccarat Givre pattern square serving set of 5
$804.00
We would like to introduce you to Baccarat's small bowls that are perfect for cold appetizers, side dishes, and desserts.
Only the rim is left clear and the entire piece is etched with a fine pattern, creating a gibberish effect.
Givre means "covered in frost" in French. In the glass genre, it refers to the technique of roughening the glass surface with the corrosive action of acid to create a frost pattern.
Glass with this type of etched background pattern was popular from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, and was produced not only by Baccarat, but also by Saint-Louis and Val Saint-Lambert.
Since there is no signature and the patterns are similar, it is difficult to tell which manufacturer's glass it is from, but the background pattern used this time is one of Baccarat's signature patterns.
In addition to tableware, it is also used in lighting and decorative items.
If you look closely, doesn't it look like a pine needle pattern?
It also blends well with Japanese furnishings.
Additionally, this shape of vessel, with its rounded bottom and square mouth, similar to a square mukozuke, was likely popular in the early 1900s .
The Daum workshop, which was started by the Daum brothers, Art Nouveau riders, also produces vessels of roughly the same shape.
Harumi Baccarat also has the same model, which we have previously introduced on our web store.

Tableware for eating is often made of ceramics or lacquerware.
Using a glass vessel among them will add contrast, and best of all, it can be combined in a balanced way with any other vessel, which is a nice feature.
The condition is good.
Since this is a vessel that has been used for practical purposes, there is some wear around the rim, but it is barely noticeable.
Additionally, three of the cups have chips less than 1mm in size on the rim, but they are so small that you won't notice them unless you look closely.
Glassware has a nice refreshing feel to it.
It's also perfect as a summer dish.
It's a very appetizing dish that can be used to serve sashimi, salad, vinegared dishes, jelly, and ice cream.
