Glass carafe embossed with bees Handblown, easily recognisable by the elegant form and the price. 1 l, 27.7 cm tall (10½” approx.). The La Rochère glassware stems from one of the oldest glass manufacturers in France and the eldest one which is still in production today. This thick and sturdy glass series bears the heraldic animal of the Bonaparte dynasty: the bee. These glasses are hand-blown in a wooden form. The thin edge which results from this process is not a mistake, it is indeed a characteristic of quality.
