Saint Louis Crystal Chartreuse Color Vase , France, 2023

About the Item

From its star-shaped base to the sparkling glints of the diamond, bevel, pearl and rim cuts, Tommy stands as a timeless collection since 1928. Its straight lines have afforded elegance to the most refined interiors, all the way to the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles. What if the exceptional became an everyday celebration? Tommy spreads out its audacious colours to offer functional new creations for contemporary uses. Born in 1586, the Müntzthal glassworks become "Verrerie royale" (Royal Glassworks) in 1767 through Louis XV's royal seal of approval. The master crystal glassmakers, proud and secretive, blew, engraved and cut glass without respite in their endeavor to produce the finest and aesthe most transparent glass possible. Italy and Bohemia were already producing crystalline, but it was the Englishman George Ravenscroft who perfected the technique for making genuine crystal. In 1781, experts at Saint-Louis solved the mystery. Since 1829, renamed « Cristallerie royale de Saint-Louis », the manufacture is exclusively devoted to the production of crystal-glass items and introduced the concept of a set of glasses for the dining table with the Trianon service. Through aesthetic and formal innovations, the art of living in crystal will seduce the whole word. Saint-Louis signs every day crystal creations - tableware, vases, chandeliers and lighting items - crafted by master glassblowers and cutters considered to be among the very best in France ("Meilleurs Ouvriers de France"). All possess irreplaceable knowledge and ancestral skills that have been enriched from generation to generation: crystal is mouthblown, hand-cut, hand-engraved and hand-decorated using 24-carat gold. Saint-Louis is truly a workshop of its time, a blend of tradition and innovation that never ceases to draw inspiration from contemporary artistic trends in order to renew and shape its identity. In the wave of creativity that swept through the early 20th century, between Art Nouveau and Art Deco, external designers brought their talents to bear at Saint-Louis, artists such as Paul Nicolas, Jean Sala, Jean Luce, Michel Colle and Maurice Dufrêne, to name but a few. Saint-Louis has been part of the Hermès group since 1995, and continues to call on the imagination and skills of designers who open the way to new uses for crystal - and so the tableware, decorative object and lighting collections are enriched by the creations of Eric Gizard, Hervé van der Straeten, lonna Vautrin, José Lévy, Kiki van Eijk, No Duchaufour-Lawrance, Paola Navone. They are both valuable and everyday objects, whose beauty magnifies the moments of pleasure and conviviality that grace our lives.
