Gelas Harcourt Louis-Philippe

The faceted crystal catches the light beautifully, and the fact that it’s a re-issue of an 1840 royal design makes it feel like a piece of history on my dinner table. It’s elegant enough for special occasions, but sturdy enough that I don’t worry about handling it during everyday pours.

The engraving detail on the glass is so crisp and refined, you can tell it’s a piece with real history behind it. I poured a glass of water just to admire how the light catches the crystal, and it honestly feels like a small ceremony every time.

The weight of the crystal feels substantial without being clumsy, and the bowl is perfectly balanced for pouring wine. I’ve used it every night since it arrived, and the way the glass rings when tapped is oddly satisfying.
