What it is
The champagne coupe is a shallow, wide-bowled glass, fashionable from the 1830s to the 1960s before the flute took over. French crystal makers Baccarat, Saint-Louis, Daum and Lalique, and glassworks across Europe, made coupes in cut, engraved, gilded and colored crystal; Art Deco coupes and bistro coupes are popular for cocktails.
How to identify and date it
Etched marks under the foot identify crystal (Baccarat's circle with a decanter and glasses, Saint-Louis, Daum France); hand-blown glasses show subtle variations; check rims for chips and bowls for cloudiness. Sets of six or more add value.

How we write these guides: identification notes are general guidance written by French Country; a style name, a region or a resemblance does not by itself date or attribute a piece. Price ranges are indicative US retail asking prices for antique and vintage examples in sound condition (dealers, specialist marketplaces and auctions), estimated and rounded as of November 2026; check recent sold results before relying on a figure. They are not appraisals or offers to buy or sell: condition, provenance and documentation can move a value far outside the range. For insurance, estates or sales, ask an independent, qualified appraiser for a written valuation.
