La Rochère's glassmaking expertise

La Rochère combines artisanal mouth-blown production with mechanical pressed glass. This dual mastery allows the brand to offer both unique mouth-blown crystalline pieces and larger series of decorated pressed glass collections, all made in France.

• Mouth-blown glass: eight artisans with different skills work together on a single piece
• Mouth-blown crystalline: decanters and tasting glasses
• Pressed glass: decorated collections (Abeille, Libellules, Périgord)
