La Rochère – French glass art since 1475

Tradition and innovation: Handcrafted glass from the heart of France

For over five centuries, the name La Rochère has stood for high-quality glassware that combines tradition and modernity. As Europe's oldest operating glassworks, La Rochère, located in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region, produces glass products that impress with their quality, aesthetics, and durability. Each piece tells a story of craftsmanship and French savoir-faire.

What makes La Rochère so special – Authentic design and masterful craftsmanship

La Rochère specializes in the production of drinking glasses, carafes, bowls, and other glassware for everyday use as well as for special occasions. The products are characterized by their robustness and timeless design, which combines both classic and modern elements. Particularly well-known are series such as "Perigord," "Versailles," and "Biene," which embody French elegance with their characteristic reliefs and shapes.

Production is achieved through a combination of traditional techniques and modern technology. Pressed glass is used, which is formed using efficient mechanical production equipment without losing its artisanal character. This manufacturing method lends the products a special feel and authenticity.

Over five centuries of glassmaking – The history of La Rochère

The history of La Rochère begins in 1475, when glassmaker Simon de Thysac founded the glassworks in the Vosges Mountains. The location was strategically chosen: surrounded by forests that provided the necessary wood for the furnaces, and rich in natural resources such as silica and water, the region offered ideal conditions for glassmaking.

Over the centuries, La Rochère developed into a major glassware manufacturer. Despite technological advances, the company remained true to its artisanal roots. Today, La Rochère is recognized as a "Living Heritage Company" and attracts over 100,000 visitors annually who wish to experience traditional glassmaking firsthand.
