Product description
Set of multicolored Sèvres Chenonceaux crystal goblets, made in the 1960s. 9 cm diameter, 22 cm high. Sèvres Crystal (not to be confused with the famous porcelain from the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres) represents French excellence in the field of high-end lead glass. Its history is intricately linked both to royal luxury and to the figure of Pierre d'Avesn. The Sèvres glassmaking tradition began in 1750, when the Marquise de Pompadour (mistress of Louis XV) supported the creation of the art glass factory in Sèvres to compete with English and Venetian productions. Over the centuries, the manufactory changed ownership several times and absorbed other historic glassworks (such as Cristallerie de St. Louis and Verrerie de Landier in Choisy-le-Roi). In 1970, the brand adopted the definitive name "Cristallerie de Sèvres," specializing exclusively in finely handcrafted crystal. Sèvres Crystal distinctly differentiates itself from Italian maximalism (Versace) or the color of Murano (Seguso). Its aesthetic is based on several characteristics, including absolute transparency: Sèvres crystal is famous for its very high lead oxide content (over 30%), which gives the pieces an inimitable brilliance, light refraction, and "sound" (the typical clear ring). Many animal sculptures or vases feature molded and acid-etched parts (frosted effects that resemble ice) combined with perfectly transparent and geometric bases or details. In glassware sets and decanters, the crystal is hand-cut with diamond wheels to create facets that capture light like precious stones. Additional details: - Brand: Cristallo di Sèvres - Material: Vetro al piombo - Period: 1960s
