The most expensive champagne glasses we can document are the Diamond & Crystal pair by Australian jeweller John Calleija, reported at about $400,000, carved from quartz crystal and set with 15 carats of white diamonds and 6 carats of Argyle pink diamonds. That price was reported when the pair was shown at the jeweller’s London boutique and bought by an Australian businessman, and we could not re-confirm it from the maker’s current pages (as of October 2026).
Champagne glasses are not an auction category, so there is no record list the way there is for watches or cars. This page shows the one jewelled one-off and a ladder of what ordinary luxury crystal costs, from retail and dealer prices we could open. Treat the ladder as a guide: it is a few examples, not a ranking of every maker.
| Rank | Glasses | Price | Basis | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | Vintage Baccarat Mercure flutes, set of 12 | $4,400 | Resale listing | Dealer asking price |
| 3 | Baccarat Vega flutes, set of two | CAD 650 (sale CAD 454.95) | Current retail listing | Retail |
| 2 | Baccarat Massena flutes, set of two | CAD 680 at one retailer | Current retail listing | Retail |
| 1 | Calleija Diamond & Crystal champagne glasses (pair) | About $400,000 (reported) | Reported at a London boutique opening | Commission, Australian jeweller |
4. Vintage Baccarat Mercure flutes: $4,400 for twelve
On the antiques marketplace 1stdibs, a dealer asks $4,400 for a set of 12 Mercure fluted champagne glasses, and $1,920 for a set of eight Baccarat flutes. These are asking prices, not sales.
How we valued it: dealer asking price on a resale marketplace, not a transaction.
3. Baccarat Vega flutes: CAD 650 for two
The same retailer lists the Vega set of two at CAD 650 regular and CAD 454.95 on sale.
How we valued it: retailer’s listed price in Canadian dollars; the sale price shows how much retail varies.
2. Baccarat Massena flutes: CAD 680 for two
One Canadian retailer lists a set of two Massena flutes, 16 cl each, at CAD 680 regular price. That is about CAD 340 a glass for the French crystal maker’s standard flute.
How we valued it: retailer’s own listed price in Canadian dollars; no conversion.
1. Calleija Diamond & Crystal champagne glasses: about $400,000
As originally reported, a team of five jewellers spent three months on the pair, cutting each glass from a block of quartz crystal of about 8 kg. Each glass is nearly 6 inches tall and weighs about 250 g, finished in 18-carat white and rose gold and platinum. The reported total is 1,700 diamonds, including 15 carats of white diamonds and 6 carats of rare Argyle pink diamonds.
The designer said the idea came while he was drawing a series of diamond-encrusted objects, from letter openers to salt shakers, and the glasses stood out. A Melbourne businessman reportedly bought them, after being told the price would be around $400,000, to keep as family heirlooms.
How we valued it: reported commission price from the maker’s launch coverage; we could not find the maker’s current page for it, so treat the figure and the buyer as reported, not confirmed.
What the champagne costs
The glass is a small part of the bill. The record price for a bottle of champagne at auction is £42,875, paid at Christie’s London in December 2021 for a Perrier-Jouët 1874. That is a sale, not a glass, but it shows where champagne money goes.
Records set in 2025 and 2026
We found no new record for champagne glasses in 2025 or 2026, and no auction house sells them as a category. The Calleija pair remains the only jewelled example we could trace.
What drives these prices
- Stones. Diamonds, not glass, make up the six-figure price.
- Labor. Three months of work by five jewellers.
- Brand. Baccarat sells crystal by the name on the base.
- Edition. A one-off costs more than anything in a catalogue.
