Behind the Design: "Facets of LOUIS XIII" Glasses
Each LOUIS XIII glass is unique and hand-crafted meticulously by 9 Crystal Masters who pass down the delicate crystal piece from one hand to another. The crystal is manually gathered and gently shaped before being mouth-blown into its first form. Similar to the gestures needed to form the fleur de lys medallions on a LOUIS XIII decanter, a narrow stream of crystal is delicately applied to form the final foot. The Crystal Master uses its craft tools to ensure an even round form that will hold the glass in its final position.
