Here is a beautiful set of 6 small liqueur glasses (indicated capacity of 5 cl) made of crystal from the famous French brand Cristal d’Arques, established in 1968. This is the Pompadour model, which is believed to have been created in the 1970s, a lovely footed design with numerous relief facets (diamond point) on the body of the glass. These glasses are still in their original box and have probably never been used. The box also states "guaranteed over 24% PbO, " which gives the crystal a very nice transparency and a lovely ringing sound. I do not know exactly until when this collection was produced, but in any case, it was before 2009, as the brand ceased producing crystal that year (replaced by Diamax, a glass with almost all the qualities of crystal but lacking its sound). These glasses are in perfect condition, with no chips, cracks, or even scratches. The box shows some signs of age: small various marks and adhesives and staples to maintain its shape. The glasses measure 10.5 cm in height, 5 cm in diameter at the top, and 4 cm in diameter at the base.
