HISTORY:
Saint Louis is the oldest crystal manufacturer in

Francois de Beaufort, director of the Verreries Royales de Saint Louis was the first to introduce crystal glass to France.

Saint-Louis Crystal quickly became the favorite of French royalty, and its wares have graced tables
of note for centuries since. The elite glassblowers and glass cutters of Saint-Louis recognized
as the best in France are fortified by generations of knowledge.

Each Saint-Louis piece is handcrafted, meaning no two are the same. And while committed to preserving and enriching the art-making glass by hand-Saint Louis is also a champion of contemporary and innovator of advanced techniques. In Saint-Louis Crystal, modern techniques are melded seamlessly with traditional methods, resulting in sophisticated crystal patterns that bring élan and prestige to any table.
