Baccarat "Capri Optic" Crystal Water Goblet
France | Pattern introduced 1909 | 7.125" H x 3.25" W x 3.25" D
A masterpiece of French light and form, this Baccarat goblet comes from the celebrated Capri Optic collection. The design is defined by its subtle, "Venetian-cut" vertical optic ripples that create a rhythmic play of light across the bowl’s wavy, slightly flared rim.
The Capri pattern was originally created in the 19th century—rumored to have been a favorite of the Indian Maharani of Baroda—and was officially cataloged by Baccarat in 1909. It is famous for its technical precision and the signature optic effect that mimics the gentle movement of water. This collection represents a departure from the heavy, ornate cuts of the Victorian era toward a more fluid, sinuous aesthetic that anticipated the Art Nouveau movement. Every authentic piece is hand-blown in France, reflecting over two centuries of heritage in every glass.
