The French Story of LA ROCHERE
A Legacy of Light and Fire
Founded in 1475 in the heart of the Vosges, La Rochère is Europe’s oldest continuously operating glassworks. Its story is one of passion, resilience, and an unyielding commitment to craftsmanship. For over five centuries, master glassblowers have shaped molten glass into objects of beauty, using techniques passed down through generations.
The Abeille collection pays homage to Napoleon Bonaparte, who adopted the bee as a symbol of immortality and resurrection. This motif, once reserved for imperial splendor, now graces your table, connecting you to a rich tapestry of French history and artistry.
From Sand to Splendor
Each flute begins as a blend of sand, silica, soda, and lime, melted at over 1,400°C in La Rochère’s historic furnaces. Skilled artisans gather the glowing glass with a blowpipe, shaping it with precision and care. The result is a flute that captures light and sparkles with every sip, embodying the soul of French craftsmanship.
