Know before you buy
No, this piece is not food safe. It is designed primarily as a decorative centerpiece or an ornamental object rather than for direct contact with food or liquids.
This piece is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the clarity and the delicate hand-cut details, we recommend hand-washing with mild soap and lukewarm water, then drying immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth.
The coupe stands 190 mm (7.48 inches) tall and has a diameter of 225 mm (8.858 inches). Its pedestal design provides a significant presence, making it well-suited for use as a focal point on a dining table or console.
The nic-nac cut is a specific, intricate decorative technique used by Saint-Louis artisans to add texture and light-refracting detail to the crystal. It complements the Venetian ribs to create the fluid, light-catching aesthetic characteristic of the Apollo collection.
Every Apollo Coupe sur Pied is hand-blown and meticulously cut by master artisans in France. Because it is a handmade item, you may notice subtle variations that reflect the authenticity and craftsmanship of the production process.
