Description from the seller
St. Louis – Very rare set of 6 hand-blown and hand-cut crystal water goblets – Model "Tommy" – Signed.
An icon of refinement and French savoir-faire for a table of excellence.
We propose at auction a splendid set consisting of 6 water goblets in precious crystal signed by the historic Saint-Louis manufactory, model "Tommy".
Origin and History of the Manufacture:
The goblets were created in France, in the famous glassmaking district of Saint-Louis-lès-Bitche (Lorraine), home of Cristallerie de Saint-Louis. Founded in 1586 and named "Verrerie Royale" by Louis XV in 1767, Saint-Louis is the oldest crystal manufactory in Europe, renowned worldwide for the absolute mastery of its master glassmakers and grinders.
The Model "Tommy":
Born in 1928 to celebrate British soldiers ("Tommies") and immortalized in 1938 during King George VI’s banquet at the Palace of Versailles, the Tommy model represents one of the absolute peaks of crystal art. Each goblet is the result of a complex artisan process: mouth-blown and entirely hand-cut. The decoration fuses a dense diamond cut on the cup base, a flat-ribbed edge with olive elements on the rim, and the classic star cut beneath the base, ensuring an extraordinary play of light.
