Luminarc Longchamp Crystal Wine Goblet
Luminarc (owned by Arc International) · Kitchenware > Glassware
Era / Decade
1980s-1990s. The gold 'Luminarc USA' sticker is a characteristic font style from the late 20th century.
Material
Lead-free crystal or high-quality glass with a duralex-style tempering for durability. Features a diamond-cut pattern known as the Longchamp design.
Condition
Excellent. The presence of the original foil manufacturer stickers suggests these have seen little to no use and have avoided the cloudiness common in dishwasher-cycled glassware.
Demand Level
Moderate to Strong. The Longchamp pattern is one of the most popular mass-produced crystal patterns, meaning there is a constant stream of buyers looking to replace broken pieces in their existing sets.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell

Use keywords like 'Vintage', 'French Glassware', 'Longchamp Diamond Cut', and 'Discontinued'. Ship with extreme care using double-boxing and plenty of bubble wrap. High-quality photos against a dark background will show off the light refraction in the cuts.
