Longchamp Cut Glass Wine Goblet
Cristal d'Arques · Kitchenware > Drinkware
Era / Decade
1970s - 1980s (Dating clues: Peak production period for this classic diamond-cut pattern and frequent presence in mid-century vintage markets)
Material
Leaded Crystal (historically 24% lead content) or high-quality crystalline glass. Known for brilliance and a clear ring when tapped.
Condition
Very Good. The glass shows excellent clarity without clouding (etching from dishwashers). No visible chips or cracks are evident in the photo, though the rim must be checked for 'flea bites'.
Demand Level
Moderate. It is a 'bread and butter' item for resellers because it is a very common bridal registry pattern, meaning people are always looking for replacements.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$6.00 - $12.00 per stem (Selling in sets of 4 or 6 increases the per-stem value and likelihood of sale)
Estimated Retail Value
$12.00 - $18.00 per stem (based on modern replacements for similar French lead crystal)
Comparable Sales
Individual stems consistently sell for $8–$10 plus shipping on eBay. Sets of 4 recently sold between $35 and $50 depending on height (Wine vs. Water size).
Description
Elegant vintage Cristal d’Arques-Durand clear lead crystal wine goblet in the iconic Longchamp pattern. Features deep diamond cuts on the bowl that catch the light beautifully, a multi-faceted stem, and a starburst-cut base. Perfect for formal dining or as a replacement piece for a classic collection.
Key Features
Highly recognizable Longchamp pattern; classic French crystal manufacture; excellent light refraction; dishwasher safe (though hand washing is recommended); high replacement demand for broken set pieces.
Authenticity Indicators
Pattern recognition: Longchamp is one of the most mass-produced crystal patterns in the world. High confidence (90%) but must check for the sandblasted 'France' or 'CdA' mark often found on the bottom. Confidence Level: High.
Flaws to Note
Potential 'flea bite' chips on the rim or base; cloudiness/haze from hard water or dishwasher use; minor shelf wear on the bottom of the foot.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for single replacement pieces), Etsy (best for sets of 4+ styled as vintage decor), or Facebook Marketplace (to avoid shipping fragile glass).
Selling Tips
Photograph against a dark, solid background to highlight the crystalline cuts. Use keywords like 'French Crystal,' 'Diamond Cut,' and 'Longchamp Pattern.' If you have a set, price them slightly lower than Replacements.com to move them quickly. Extremely careful double-boxing is required for shipping.
