The term crystal comes from the Italian word "cristallo". It refers to the clean, clear, and translucent qualities that can all be found in Noritake's line of crystal stemware. One of these fine examples is Vendome Platinum. An elegant and romantic design using deep vertical cuts and a shapely stem. Each piece is rimmed in platinum. This 12 piece set is a fantastic value and gift. It includes 4 champagne flutes, 4 goblets, and 4 wine glasses.
