"The fragility of expensive crystal is not a flaw, but a noble elegance." John Crackower, American writer and journalist.

Throughout history, exquisite Saint-Louis crystal was a symbol of French elegance, wealth and luxury. It was always a part of high society's banquets, gala evenings attended by state leaders and royal receptions. Saint-Louis is famous for its incomparable crystal objects - premium tableware, majestic vases, royal chandeliers and grand candleholders created by one of the best glass blowers in France.

Saint-Louis is the oldest European glassware company and one of the most prestigious crystal houses in the world. Back in the mid-18th century, King Louis XV of France granted the prestigious name Royale de Saint-Louis to the factory. Saint-Louis laid the foundation for the royal table setting with crystal objects of art. In the nineteenth century, Saint-Louis became a leader in the design and manufacture of the most complex crystal products models with gold ornaments and precision engraving. The company also innovated the technology of crystal dyeing and cold-cutting.  Skillful artisans of Royale de Saint-Louis invented the secret formula of crystal, which was first introduced in continental Europe. In the early 19th century, the Saint-Louis made another discovery - colored crystal.

The wide range of colors and saturated shades used by Saint-Louis is striking the imagination.  While best-known manufacturers use up to eight colors, in Saint-Louis collections there are fifteen basic and some additional combinations, which are called two-layer and three-layer colors. Each crystal piece is blown and carved exclusively by hand in the Saint-Louis factories.

Saint-Louis crystal has been a classic wedding gift for many decades and this tradition is still preserved today when it comes to the best, timeless crystal brand.
