Bowl measures 2-1/2 across top. Diameter of base is 3-1/4. Will be well wrapped, but of course this is a fragile item. Information about Saint-Louis Crystal, and the Excellence Collection, from the internet - the oldest crystal manufactory in France (since 1586) and a Royal Glassworks since 1767, come these ornately decorated pieces. They are mouthblown and handcut.
The gold is applied by hand after the crystal is etched in relief. It is then refired so that the gold becomes part of the glass -- it will not wear off.

The "Excellence" glasses radiate an aura of absolute elegance, sophistication and luxury. The sparkling cut of the glass is enchanting to the eye of any observer and the golden decoration of the glass and rim transform these crystal-glass creations from Saint Louis into something extremely special."Every glass in the "Excellence collection is produced to the highest standards in the Saint Louis crystal glassworks in France using traditional techniques of glass-blowing and hand-craftsmanship. The decoration of 24-carat gold is painted on to each glass by hand and subsequently polished with agate stone. Absolute mastery of this demanding technique is required to produce such a prestigious-looking collection.
