Elegant and substantial, this vintage Saint-Louis Trianon pitcher brings the clarity, weight, and craftmanship associated with fine French crystal to the table or bar. The pitcher is marked with an acid-etched Saint-Louis France mark on the underside and retains its original black-and-gold Saint-Louis foil label.

The pitcher works particularly well with traditional, French, European, and collected interiors, and pairs naturally with fine crystal, silver, porcelain, and formal tableware. Perfect for a stylish bar cart or cocktail service, this elegant pitcher can hold batch cocktails or mixed drinks for easy refills. It also works beautifully for lemonade, iced tea, punch, or other chilled beverages when entertaining. It would appeal especially to Saint-Louis collectors, admirers of French crystal, and those who appreciate beautifully made pieces with an established design heritage.

The heavy, hand-cut crystal has a deeply cut diamond crosshatch pattern around the body, vertical facets and a beautifully detailed notched handle. Its substantial weight and cutting allows the crystal to catch and reflect light beautifully. Saint-Louis traces its origins to 1586 and is recognized for its long tradition of fine French glassmaking and crystal craftsmanship. Today, Saint-Louis is part of the Hermès group.

In very good condition, it appears unused, with the original foil label intact.
