It is located in the Vosges mountains (East of France), a region rich of wood, sand and silica, the basics material to make glassware. Destroyed twice in the 16th and 17th centuries, the manufacture was rebuilt in 1666 and the ovens were re-lit and were not to be extinguished until today. The manufacturer is the oldest traditional glassmaker still in activity in Europe. Originally, the factory produced window glass; the diversification to glassware and stemware for Cafés and restaurants began in the 19th century.
