"Tommy" Champagne flute, flannel by Saint-Louis

Richly detailed cutting makes the coloured crystal glasses glitter like diamonds. Indeed, to produce this effect, as many as three intricate glass-making techniques are necessary: facet cutting, ball cutting and diamond cutting. These Champagne flutes are part of the “Tommy” collection which is one of the most important and famous productions of the crystal glass manufactory Saint-Louis. This fame may also have been enhanced by a nice anecdote entwined around this classic series from the year 1928: on the occasion of a visit by King George VI, a “dinner” was given in the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles, and the place of each guest was set with eleven glasses from the “Tommy” series. Each of these glasses is still produced today in France’s oldest glass factory with all the traditional skill and precise craftsmanship. Further articles from the “Tommy” series can be viewed below.

It is recommended to clean by hand with a soft sponge and mild dish soap. Place glasses on a paper towel, allow to drip dry, and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Do not put products with gold or platinum decorations in the dishwasher, do not use white vinegar and dry thoroughly; do not use abrasive materials, bleach, or rubber.

Clean carafes and pitchers with lukewarm water; do not allow wine to stand. To remove tannin or limescale deposits, use equal parts white vinegar and lukewarm water. Place a paper towel in the neck to dry.

Pre-warm tea glasses and pre-chill ice buckets to avoid temperature shock.

Important note for candle holders: To avoid thermal shock, change the candle when the flame is 6cm away from the crystal. It is recommended to use a candle snuffer.
