Crystal glasses by Sèvres Crystal

Crystal glasses from Sèvres Crystal

A renowned patron of the arts, the beautiful Marquise— known as Madame de Pompadour—moved the factory from Paris to her palace in Bellevue, Sèvres, in 1750. Under her patronage, the Sèvres name blossomed and gained international prestige for its designs created by notable artists of the time, catapulting the brand into fame. In fact, it is said that a famous craftsman made one of the first pieces by Sèvres specifically for Madame de Pompadour. The piece we are referring to is the traditional wide mouth champagne glass, which correctly reproduced one of the breasts of the famous courtesan. The elegant Pompadour glass was the preferred champagne glass for a long time until the high and narrow flutes replaced it to preserve better the essence of the bubbly.
