Know before you buy
No, this piece is intended for decorative use only and is not food safe. It is best utilized as a centerpiece or an elegant catch-all for small items.
To preserve the polished finish and the integrity of the hand-blown crystal, hand-wash the bowl gently with mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid the dishwasher entirely, as the heat and detergents can damage the delicate crystal surface.
The pierrerie cut is a signature Saint-Louis technique featuring large, precise diamond-shaped facets. This traditional style is designed to catch and refract light, echoing the craftsmanship originally used in historic chandelier bobeches.
This is the 'Petit' size in the Royal collection, measuring 133 mm (approximately 5.24 inches) in diameter. Its compact scale makes it ideal for placement on a console table, desk, or bookshelf.
The rich amethyst hue is integrated into the crystal itself during the hand-blowing process. Because each piece is handmade in France, you can expect a deep, consistent color that reflects the high quality of Saint-Louis glassmaking.
