Saint-Louis
The Saint-Louis manufactory was founded in the 16th century, Lothringen. King Ludwig XV conferred upon it, the title of ‘Königliche Glasmanufaktur Saint-Louis [Royal Glass Manufacturer Saint-Louis]’. François de Beaufort developed the techniques of crystal glass manufacture at the end of the 18th century and the Glasmanufaktur became the ‘Königliche Kristallglasmanufaktur’. Saint-Louis is in business making crystal wares since 1829 – they employ some of France’s best glass makers and glass cutters. Centuries of experience with colouration and engraving techniques lie at the core of Saint-Louis success.
