Cristal d'Arques Longchamp Crystal Pitcher — French Lead Crystal, Diamond-Point Cut, 9⅜"

Longchamp is one of Cristal d'Arques' most enduring patterns, introduced by the French glassmaker in 1968 and still recognized today for its all-over diamond-point cut detailing — a dense field of faceted points that catches light from every angle. This pitcher carries the pattern's signature look in full: a generous pouring spout, a wide handle sized for an easy grip, and the diamond-point cutting spreading across the base and body.

Genuine lead crystal, this piece predates Cristal d'Arques' more recent shift to lead-free "Diamax" glass in current production — meaning it carries real weight and brilliance in hand that newer, mass-retail versions of the same pattern don't quite match. A useful, good-looking piece equally suited to serving water and lemonade at a summer table or holding cut flowers on a sideboard.
