Clear and beautiful La Rochere French glassware is appropriate for the dining room, sturdy enough for every day use and dishwasher safe. The oldest glass factory in France, La Rochere was founded in 1475 - seventeen years before Christopher Columbus set foot in the Americas.
La Rochere Glass and Crystal Works, founded in 1475 in the Haute-Saône area in eastern France, is the oldest Artistic Glassmaker company still in activity. Naturally, historical details are very important in their designs, which feature raised relief decorations that classically symbolize France, such as the beautiful Fleur de Lys and the charming Provencal bee.

Mechanically pressed glass from La Rochere is uniquely clear, produced by melting a mixture of sand, soda, and lime to create silico-sodocalcic glass at very high heat, around 1450 C. Various other elements are added to refine and improve brilliance to create heavy-duty glassware that's perfect for every day.
