Lyonnais — La Rochère

The Lyonnais collection by La Rochère is a contemporary reinterpretation of a pressed-glass service inspired by the glassworks' 19th-century catalogues. Its bowl decorated with Renaissance-style reliefs and its ball-stem make it one of the most recognisable services on offer.

The origin of the Lyonnais collection

The Lyonnais decoration revisits precious Renaissance-inspired motifs from an original created in 1890 by La Rochère glassmakers and linked to the house's 19th-century collections. Pressed in glass, this service combines the elegance of period decoration with modern everyday use, manufactured at the Passavant-la-Rochère glassworks in operation since 1475.

• Pressed glass made in France at Passavant-la-Rochère
• Relief decoration inspired by the Renaissance motifs of the house's 19th-century catalogues
• Available in clear glass, amethyst, anthracite and azure blue depending on the reference

Choosing within the Lyonnais collection

What makes the Lyonnais collection special?

It is a reinterpretation in the spirit of La Rochère's 19th-century glassware: the relief decoration, ball-stem and curved bowl take up the codes of an older original while adapting them to everyday use. It is one of the house's classic collections, both heritage-driven and suitable for everyday use.

Are there coloured versions?

Yes. The 20 cl water tumbler comes in clear, amethyst, anthracite and azure blue depending on the reference; the 23 cl wine glass is available in clear, anthracite, amethyst and azure blue. This palette lets you build a mixed service or play on contrasts at the table.

Which piece should I start a Lyonnais service with?

The best starting point is a set of 23 cl wine glasses (AZ boutique's best-selling piece) and a set of 20 cl water tumblers. To round out the service, add the 26.5 cl handled mug for hot drinks and complete with the amethyst, anthracite or azure blue versions to match your table.

Is the Lyonnais collection dishwasher-safe?

Yes, Lyonnais mechanical-glass pieces are dishwasher-safe. To preserve the sparkle of the glass and the legibility of the relief decoration, avoid excessive thermal shocks and use gentle care.
