Libellules — La Rochère

The Dragonflies collection by La Rochère is recognisable by its dragonflies in relief on the sides of the glass, a naturalist take on the know-how of the Passavant-la-Rochère glassworks. A more rustic and pastoral signature than the famous Bee collection, but produced through the same pressed-glass craftsmanship.

The origin of the Dragonflies motif

The dragonfly motif is executed in relief by moulding: each face of the glass shows two dragonflies standing out from the background, perceptible to the touch. It is a decoration that extends La Rochère's naturalist tradition, a French glass manufacture founded in 1475.

• Pressed glass made in France in Passavant-la-Rochère
• Dragonfly motif in relief on the sides of the glass, perceptible to the touch
• Coordinated tumblers / long drink glasses for a consistent service

Choosing within the Dragonflies collection

Why is the Dragonflies collection distinctive?

It is one of La Rochère's naturalist collections: an animal motif in relief that recalls the manufacture's pressed-glass know-how, in a more pastoral and summery vein than the iconic Bee. The motif is executed directly in the mould, making it integral to the glass and durable.

Water glass or long drink: which to choose?

The 28 cl water glass is the versatile format for table service: water, juices, soft drinks. The 40 cl long drink suits tall drinks (mojito, sparkling water, long cocktails), and brings a more slender silhouette to the summer table.

Which piece should I start a Dragonflies service with?

Start with the 28 cl water glasses in sets of 6, the universal base of service. Complement with the 40 cl long drinks for refreshing drinks in summer, the season when the collection brings the most relief to the table.

Is the Dragonflies collection dishwasher-safe?

Yes, Dragonflies pressed glasses withstand the dishwasher. To preserve the legibility of the dragonfly relief and the brilliance of the glass, La Rochère recommends a moderate cycle with a non-aggressive detergent.
