CRISTAL DE SÈVRES : TWO AND A HALF CENTURIES
OF CLARITY
 During
the first half of the 18th century the marquise de Pompadour acquired
a glassworks. The Verrerie Royale de Sevres came into being a few
years later under the royal patronage "granted by the king to Madame
de Pompadour" in 1750. The marquise de Pompadour had the glassworks
moved to the grounds of her chateau in Sevres. By 1762, it was
reputed to be one of the three best glassworks in France. A passionate
lover of art and favourite of Louis 15th, Madame de Pompadour was
determined to dress the royal table with the most beautiful glasses,
as beautiful as those made by the Venetians.
Her brother, the marquis de Marigny, brought to the glassworks
the recent discovery of crystal and converted Europe to the unrivalled
clarity of a material that became an indispensable part of all
top Venetian tables. Over the next one and a half centuries, Cristal
de Sevres enamoured all passionate admirers of refined tableware,
in particular those that sought the highest standards of quality
and aestheticism. In 1971, Cristal de Sevres relocated to Vannes
Ie Chatel and added to their tradition that of the master glass
makers of the Lorraine region, whose skills had been renowned since
the Middle Ages. |
