Elegant Villeroy & Boch 'Boston' collection champagne flute. This piece features a distinctively textured, faceted 'diamond' cut stem that provides a tactile grip and brilliant light refraction, contrasted by a sleek, smooth tulip-shaped crystal bowl. Measures approximately 6.5 inches tall. Perfect for adding a touch of rustic elegance to any celebration.
Key Features
Highly recognizable 'Boston' pattern; reputable luxury brand name; original retail sticker intact; versatile design that fits both casual and formal aesthetics.
Authenticity Indicators
High Confidence. The square foil sticker is typical of V&B factory labeling. The weight of the crystal and the specific geometry of the faceted stem matches the Boston production line exactly.

No visible structural flaws. Resale value for single stems is generally lower than for sets of 2, 4, or 6.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is best for reach to collectors looking for replacement stems. Replacements, Ltd. for a quick (though lower price) buyout. Facebook Marketplace for local sales to avoid shipping risks.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Discontinued Style' (if applicable to specific bowl size), 'Replacement', and 'Faceted Stem'. Wrap in multiple layers of bubble wrap and double-box to ensure safe arrival. Take photos against a dark background to show the clarity and facets of the crystal.
