French glassware consisting of 62 pieces (all glasses: wine, champagne, brandy, etc.) They are made of transparent and translucent molded glass, ornamented with fine gold fillets bordering the circular base and decorating the bodies in the form of fretwork that evoke crowns of ears of wheat.

The city of Baccarat is recognized as one of the most important in the design in refined glass since King Louis XV granted Cardinal Louis-Joseph de Laval-Montmorency permission to found a glass workshop in the town, in the province of Lorraine.
