bottle service

Baccarat

So you've got a lovely gin--in this case, Bombay Sapphire. Will it really do to serve it out of just anything? The good people at the booze house, along with Garrard (jewelers to Queen Elizabeth II), Baccarat, and designer Karim Rashid have decided not. To fill the void (so to speak), they've created five handmade carafes, priced at $200,000 each, with profits to benefit the Smile Train, a charity that repairs cleft palates in underprivileged children. We've seen fancy flacons before, but nothing quite like these, which were unveiled at a sit-down dinner last night at Maison Baccarat in Paris. Faceted in the shape of an upside-down princess-cut gem, the hefty containers are topped with a sapphire- and diamond-studded stopper. Before they're put on the block, each will go on display at one of five airports: London's Heathrow, Sydney, Singapore, Dubai, and New York's JFK. This takes dropping a bundle at Duty Free to a whole new level.
