Saint-Louis Glass (Compagnie des Cristalleries de Saint Louis) is one of the oldest and most prestigious glassworks in France. It was founded in 1733 in the village of Munzthal, which was renamed Saint-Louis in 1767. The Saint-Louis glassworks quickly became known for its high-quality glassware, which was popular with the French aristocracy and royal court.
In 1924, Saint-Louis began producing a new type of glass called cameo glass. Cameo glass is a type of layered glass where different coloured layers are carved away to reveal the underlying layers, creating intricate designs. Saint-Louis's cameo glass was immediately popular, and the company adopted the brand name D'Argental for its cameo glass products.
D'Argental cameo glass is known for its high quality and craftsmanship. The glass is made with a variety of different colours, and the designs are often very complex and intricate. more...
