St. Louis - Bottle - Apollo - Crystal

Prestigious Saint-Louis Crystal Bottle - Apollo Model

History and Design
On the market is a masterpiece of glassmaking signed by Saint-Louis, the oldest royal crystal in France (since 1586). This decanter belongs to the famous Apollo collection, created in 1979.

The Apollo model is renowned for its perfect balance between classicism and modernity: characterized by the iconic "Venetian ribs" (slender vertical facets) that run along the bottle's sleek body, culminating in a pointed, fully faceted diamond-cut stopper, which acts as a prism capturing every ray of light.
