Visiting the antique and flea markets are de rigureur in Paris. We walk and we window shop until we drop but we almost never bought, until this time. Incredibly not only were we able to find something we both really liked, we even bought them at very reasonable prices. The goblet on the right is Dora's pick, an Art Deco piece from the 1930's for post dinner sweet wines. Aside from the intricate cravings on the crystal, the stem is handmade. I picked an Art Nouveau Baccarat champagne glass from around the late 1880's ... with simple lines and a classy gold trim that retains its full glory, without even a single chip. Perfect!
As for prices .. I am not the type who parts with my $ on these things easily. All I am prepared to say is in the context of value, nostalgia, style and usage they are worth every Euro.
