Just holding a champagne glass adds to your elegance. But if you had the rarest 19th century Baccarat Champagne Glasses, envy would be your guest! These are the extraordinarily rare pristine set of 12 Baccarat champagne glasses made in a pattern designed for the Imperial Russian court in the 19th century; slight variation on the Tsar pattern for the Russian Royal family’s exclusive use.
These 19th century Baccarat Champagne Glasses can only be found in museums and some private collections today, authenticated by very experienced crystal specialists in both France and Italy, only if Baccarat had signed them!
No one else made champagne glasses this size, 12″ tall! And the saucer is a massive 4″ plus in diameter, the bases 4″ even in diameter. Music issues when these glasses are tapped gently. What melody! And hey!! If you find them irresistible you would be delighted to know that you can have Antiques them (in the present date) for 1400 euros (that’s over $2,000.00 US) for each Baccarat champagne glass made today in the Tsar pattern and size. Quite some price huh!!

Wine drinking couldn’t be so tasteful and tantalising before. For starters, Swiss artist Sylvie Fluery has conceptualised a pair of limited edition crystal wine classes for Dom Pérignon. Well, the shape of the glasses has the same seductive elegance but with a sexy twist. Each comes with its own hand printed lipstick mark. That pretty much explains the title ‘Stolen Kisses’.

Expecting to be a collector’s item, each pair of glasses comes duly signed and numbered accompanied by a bottle of Dom Pérignon’s Rosé Vintage 1998. And there are only 999 of them available, which indicates a fleeting appearance in the markets.
So, if you want to be the proud owner of a pair. Keep 600 dollars ready in your purse and a spring in your step because only that will help you survive the long wait outside the select showrooms. Yep, the demand for ‘Stolen Kisses’ is already high.

It has been a known fact that human beings have been trying to reconcile with the phenomenon of life and death for ages. The desire to be immortal has led to many new inventions in the field of science and technology. Artists deal with this trauma in an entirely new form- by creating a piece of work that remains immortal even after they are no more. Swarovski designer Quinn Gregory has decided to fight with his destiny by creating a rare piece of art that he wants to be remembered for. He came up with the idea of making Swarovski-studded skulls when he was diagnosed with a fatal heart disease. So, he turned to this art to deal with the realities of death and the inexpressible aura surrounding it.

Perhaps he was taking inspiration from Yeats who wrote about the golden immortal bird. Gregory has taken a hollow skull of a woman and given artistic life to an inanimate skull.

He has decorated the skull with white Swarovski crystals and redone the eyes with blue sapphires. The price for these rare beauties start with $3,000 and have more than 8000 Swarovski pieces on each hear.
