The signature of Saint-Louis is under the glasses.
The famous “Roemers”, which means: wine glasses from the Rhine, are glasses that always come with a garnish of six assorted colors, as the first examples were Alsatian wine glasses representing six different grape varieties. Each color was supposed to represent one.
They are made of white crystal, then covered with a layer of color. It is by cutting them that we find the primary layer of transparent crystal, to sublimate the contrast between the deep colors and the magical sparkle of the crystal.
These glasses, model “Florence” shows all the display of the know-how of the Saint-Louis crystal factory.
Hours of work to achieve this alchemy between the different sizes, from the flat rib to the crosses or even the palmettes, without forgetting the gemstones side.
Very elaborate and luxurious!
With this set of crystal glasses, we are on the top of the range of the crystal factory.
Present in the catalog of 1974, end of marketing at the beginning of the 2000s.
