Monticello Stemware: Champagne Flute
Thomas Jefferson was a true connoisseur. These champagne flutes, with their clean forms and exquisite engraving, speak volumes about his taste for fine design. Jefferson purchased a great deal of glassware between 1767 and 1821, but very little survives.
Our stemware, based on a rare original, is mouth-blown full lead crystal, cut and etched by hand with a sprig and wheel band. Slight variations among the glasses are hallmarks of handmade glass.
Champagne flutes are 9 1/4" high.
