Description
CRISTALLERIE DU CREUSOT. Wine carafe in moulded and cut crystal. Neck with three faceted ridges, flared rim with faceted edges. Shoulder in stepped moulding. Body and stopper decorated with twisted ribs in the form of pointed leaves in relief, rising from the lower rim and cut into flat bands alternating with uncut leaves. Circa 1830. Height 30.5 cm. Glass slightly whitened. A similar design can be seen on a carafe and a decanter on page 293 of the book *L’âge d’or du verre en France 1800–1830* by Fernando Montes de Oca, published by F.M. The book describes this design as belonging to Montcenis. The terms ‘Montcenis crystal’ and ‘Le Creusot crystal’ both refer to the Queen’s crystal works, which were renamed the Le Creusot crystal works during the Revolution.
