Troquet — La Rochère

The Troquet collection by La Rochère evokes the French bistro café: pressed-glass espresso cups, mould-pressed motifs, faceted or ribbed "jeux d'orgues" variations. A visual signature that owns the zinc-bar atmosphere and the French coffee break.

What makes the Troquet collection distinctive

Troquet draws on La Rochère's full pressed-glass know-how, mastered at Passavant-la-Rochère since 1475: molten glass is pressed in a worked mould that prints facets, ribbed patterns or geometric décor. The 10 cl espresso format is the central piece, available in several motif variations, complemented by 23 cl tumblers for water and cold-drink service.

• La Rochère pressed glass, French manufacture in Passavant-la-Rochère
• 10 cl espresso format in several motifs (ribbed, faceted, mixed décor)
• Sets of 4 and sets of 6 for replenishment and gifting

Choosing within the Troquet collection

What sets Troquet apart from a classic espresso cup?

Troquet uses La Rochère pressed glass, a technique mastered at Passavant-la-Rochère since 1475: the mould prints clear motifs (ribbed, faceted) that are visible to the touch and in the light. The result is more expressive than a smooth porcelain espresso cup and clearly plays the French bistro-café card.

Mixed-motif set of 4 or single-motif set of 6: which to choose?

The mixed-motif set of 4 is built for gifting and for home service, where mixing patterns brings character to the coffee break. The single-motif set of 6 is rather for hospitality service or for homes wanting a homogeneous set and a coherent replenishment. The two logics complement each other.

What's the difference between the ribbed, faceted and mixed motifs?

"Ribbed" ("jeux d'orgues") is La Rochère's classic vertical fluted motif, the house's visual signature. The "faceted" version brings an angular geometric pattern, more contemporary. The "mixed motifs" sets combine several Troquet motifs in a single set for a collection effect. None is more or less functional: it's an aesthetic choice.

Are Troquet glasses dishwasher-safe?

Yes, La Rochère pressed glass goes into the domestic dishwasher. To preserve the legibility of the raised motifs over time, a moderate-temperature cycle with a non-aggressive detergent is recommended. Avoid glass-on-glass shocks when loading to preserve faceted edges.
