The Saint-Louis Cristallerie is one of the most prestigious crystal glass manufacturers in the world. Back in 1586, a glassworks was established in Alsace-Lorraine. In 1767, King Louis XV gave permission for it to become the “Royal Glassworks" and “Saint-Louis” was added to its name. In 1781, the glassworks became the first in continental Europe to produce lead crystal. Saint-Louis then received the official title “Cristallerie”.

My favorite is "Bubbles" and if I had a nice bunch of them I would put them in a window and let the light shine!
Great post as always!
I think my favorite is Bubbles in mauve and purple.
Have a wonderful day.
I would take Stella. Find a glass dessert plate the color of peridot, matching the upper glass. Put an exquisite little chocolate cup filled with mousse and pierced with a thin slab of chocolate and a raspberry dusted with powdered sugar in the center of the plate. I then cover it with the emerald dome. Fill the upper cup with Panna Cotta topped with raspberry and mint. Voila! Have the Panna cotta and then remove the glass to reveal the next treat hidden under the ripples.
BEAUTIFUL glass!
Gorgeous! I would like one of each! At least one, but I would start with Cerdagne.
