Amboise — La Rochère

The Amboise collection by La Rochère takes its name from the first Renaissance château in the Loire Valley and draws inspiration from Venetian glassware. A pressed-glass range, elegant and understated, equally at home on refined tables and in everyday use.

The origin of the Amboise collection

Inspired by the Venetian glasses that appeared during the Renaissance, the Amboise collection features a sober, timeless design. Like all La Rochère glassware, it is made from pressed glass at the Passavant-la-Rochère glassworks, in operation since 1475.

• Pressed glass made in France in Passavant-la-Rochère

Choosing within the Amboise collection

What is distinctive about the Amboise collection?

Amboise draws its inspiration from Venetian glassware of the Renaissance, with a reference to the famous Château d'Amboise, the first Renaissance château in the Loire Valley. It is one of La Rochère's most understated collections, ideal for tables that want the elegance of French pressed glass without a strong decorative motif.

Which formats are available?

The collection focuses on two pieces: the 26 cl stemmed wine glass, the main format and best-seller, and the 29 cl tumbler for stemless drinks. It is a deliberately streamlined range, to be complemented with other La Rochère collections for a complete service.

Which piece should I start with?

The 26 cl stemmed wine glass (set of 6) is the natural starting point: its curve suits everyday red, white and rosé wines. Add the 29 cl tumbler for water and cold drinks.

Is the Amboise collection dishwasher-safe?

Yes, La Rochère Amboise glasses are dishwasher-safe. To preserve the brilliance of the pressed glass, La Rochère recommends a moderate-temperature cycle with a non-aggressive detergent.
