Versailles Pressed Glass Water Goblets by La Rochère - Set of 6

An embossed bowl, ribbed lower band and short stem give the Versailles water goblet its richly outlined form. Made in France, the clear pressed glass lends water and other cool drinks a decorative presence without concealing their color.

“The generous bowl would be my water glass at a longer meal. I would set it slightly behind the wine glass so the two rims have room of their own.”
-Mrs. Mayfair

Maker / Heritage

La Rochère has worked glass in the Haute-Saône region of France since 1475. In its pressed-glass collections, a two-part mold forms the relief patterns and leaves the fine seam that is part of their recognizable character. The pieces cool gradually in an annealing oven before being inspected by hand for clarity, balance and consistency. That combination of a long-established glassworks and a practical approach to manufacture gives its tableware a particular appeal: decoration formed into the object itself, designed to take part in daily meals rather than remain behind a cabinet door.
