Gothic Wine Glasses by Cristal d'Arques, France

Imbued with Old World charm and French refinement, this Set of 4 Cristal d'Arques Gothic Wine Glasses brings a dramatic elegance to any table or collection. Crafted in France between 1973 and 2006, these vintage glasses feature a deep ruby red bowl set atop a clear stem, adorned with the signature Gothic Arch pattern—an homage to the soaring arches and intricate tracery of medieval European cathedrals.

With their pressed crystal design and "cathedral cut windows," these glasses evoke the spirit of Gothic architecture while embodying the art de vivre—the French art of living—that Cristal d’Arques is celebrated for. Originally produced by Durand under the pattern code CRAGOT, this now-discontinued line reflects both classic design and mid-century innovation. Each glass stands 5 1/8 inches tall with a 2 1/2 inch bowl, making them ideal for serving red wine, mulled wine, or rich aperitifs in true vintage style.

Discovered by our team in the Denver area, this set offers both collectibility and functionality—perfect for the vintage enthusiast, Francophile entertainer, or lover of dramatic glassware design.
