Learn more: less well known than its lorraine competitors baccarat and saint-louis, the royal and imperial crystal factory of le creusot nonetheless holds an original and prominent place in the history of glass in france and europe. An avant-garde crystal factory, it introduced for the first time in france and on the european continent the manufacture of crystal in the "english manner", based on the use of coal and no longer charcoal as fuel, and lead as flux. By the exceptional quality of its "lead crystal", it very quickly acquired an undisputed reputation under the leadership of men in love with technique, innovation and perfection, who gave the city of le creusot an international reputation even before the advent of the great steel industry under the schneiders. New and original by the richness of its amply commented iconography, ranging from the usual pieces in ordinary crystal to the most elaborate prestige pieces, may this work participate in the safeguarding of what remains today of this exceptional national heritage, industrial, artistic and cultural.
