Cristalleries de Saint-Louis bowl 1908
Ekimp:
No problem :) I suppose the time consuming bit was making the metal plates, once that was done it would’ve been relatively quick to reproduce the patterns as often as wanted (compared to cutting or etching by hand) and I expect the plates lasted well before wearing out.
Lucky you, hope you took lots of photos for reference ;D
flying free:
I took a few but not enough! It was enough to just see the glass for real though. Some of the items were really surprising compared to what I thought they looked like from online photographs.
I have to say it was stunning to round the corner into the room and suddenly see it all displayed together when I wasn't expecting it.
Really amazing collection of early 1800s opaline. (They didn't have one in the bleu lavande colour of my piece though ;) ) All the other colours were there.
Huge collection of fabulous late 1800s and Art Nouveau glass from a wide variety of makers as well.
It was a weekend crammed with culture and art - my best weekend ever for indulging in textiles, design and glass all at once. Feet hurt now as we walked everywhere.

I’ll have to dust off the passport :)
