About the Item

A refined set of eight Baccarat Harcourt Empire ruby-overlay crystal cordial glasses, showcasing one of the firm’s most iconic and enduring shapes. The Empire designation here refers not to the Napoleonic period, but to the Baccarat “Empire” glass form, a distinctive model derived from the firm’s celebrated Harcourt line, distinguished by its robust proportions, sharply faceted stem, and hexagonal base. Introduced in the 19th century, the Harcourt Empire shape is known for its structural clarity and ceremonial weight, often associated with formal table service and presentation use. Each glass in this set features a ruby red overlay etched to clear crystal, forming arched cartouches that frame delicate neoclassical gilded ornament. The decoration is applied in parcel-gold enamel, with motifs such as palmettes, scrolling foliage, and lyres—all enclosed in elegantly bordered medallions with a continuous gilded rim. The bowl is deeply cut with vertical flutes, a hallmark of Baccarat’s precise craftsmanship, which catches light brilliantly beneath the ruby casing. The stem is composed of faceted knops, cut in alternating hexagonal and disk-like sections, tapering gracefully into a broad hexagonal foot. The base is deeply cut with a starburst pattern and edged in ruby overlay with an additional gilt band, emphasizing the balance and geometry characteristic of the Empire form. This faceted design offers both visual interest and tactile weight, lending the glass a dignified presence in hand. This set exemplifies Baccarat’s mastery in overlay techniques and engraved gilt embellishment, likely produced in the late 19th to early 20th century, a period when richly colored and decorated stemware was favored for formal settings. The Empire shape, still produced by Baccarat today, reflects the brand’s heritage of precision and luxury, and this ruby variation—now discontinued—is particularly coveted for its striking contrast and depth of color. Rarely found in such a complete and well-preserved set, these glasses are ideal for collectors of fine French crystal or as a luxurious addition to any refined bar or table service. Their combination of architectural form, radiant color, and historic Baccarat design places them among the most distinctive expressions of the Empire glass tradition.
