The Royal Glass-Works at Sèvres was created by the Marquise de Pompadour, a lover of the Arts and a favorite of Louis XV. She wanted the Royal Court to have glasses as perfect as those formely made by the Venetians. To this end, she acquired a glass-works in Paris which, the following year, she moved to the grounds of her chateau at Sèvres, to make it into a luxury glass-works principally making glass for the Court of King Louis XV.

Changes to the French industrial landscape led Cristal de Sèvres to relocate to Vannes le Chatel in the Lorraine region in 1971. Thanks to the talent and skills of its glass-makers, the Lorraine region, since the Middle Ages, has played a major role in the manufacture of glass and later crystal. The production plant at Vannes le Chatel, benefiting from two centuries of experience, provides Cristal de Sèvres with the production capacity for all its crystal collections.

All these works are the fruit of the most elaborate methods of their master glass-makers. They blend the tradition and perfection of hand-made, mouth blown crystal with bold contempory designs.
