SAINT-LOUIS | Saint-Louis

Founded in 1586 in the Lorraine region of France as one of many glassworks, Saint-Louis was granted the name "Royal Glassworks of Saint-Louis" in honor of Louis IX, known as "Saint King Louis." It later flourished as a crystal workshop after successfully producing crystal for the first time on the European continent in 1781. Saint-Louis, which has walked alongside French history ever since, continues to send out elegant products to the world through its continuously inherited traditional techniques and craftsmanship. "Thistle" was introduced during the Art Nouveau period. The crystal cuts on "Excess" are breathtakingly beautiful.
