Cristalworks

For the past four centuries since the first designs were produced by the Saint-Louis crystalworks in Saint-Louis-lès-Bitche, miracles have continued to happen here.

Glassblowers and engravers are passionate about their work. In Baccarat, where royal or imperial clients share the prestige with France’s best workers from the Compagnie des Cristalleries. In creative Lemberg.

In Nancy which boasts the Daum crystalworks. And in Vannes-le-Châtel which has the European Centre for Research and Training in the Art of Glassmaking.
Vallérysthal is famous for its crystal saxophones and its modern designs, Meisenthal for its Glass & Crystal Centre and the famous Christmas baubles produced by the International Centre for the Art of Glassmaking. Here, as in Hartzviller or in Portieux in Vosges, the quest for beauty and the thirst for creativity remain the driving forces behind the art of the crystalmakers and glass producers of Lorraine.
