Haute Couture Plate

Through its precision and intertwining motifs, the Éclats de Lumière Flat Bowl evokes the rose windows of Gothic cathedrals. As for the latter, its delicate beauty requires craftsmanship of the ultimate finesse; a meticulous symmetry that only the synergy between a sharp eye and expert hand can achieve. This piece in clear crystal lined with pink crystal expresses the excellence of Baccarat’s magicians in the mastery of an expertly cut decorative style, where the maker’s hand must be agile. The Manufacture’s savoir-faire was already renowned in 1909: at the World Fair in Eastern France, the original model was presented to visitors for the first time. Even then, its crystal was a wondrous canvas for a range of advanced techniques employed to complete the various patterns such as the flame, beveled diamond, and gemstone cut. Now, everyone can look into the Éclats de Lumière Flat Bowl to see their own reveries, whether they bloom like a lotus petal, or a rose of the wind streaked with a thousand volutes. Or maybe a compass that subtly reminds us the extent to which the wonder of Baccarat has steered the House towards new heights.
