Perigord — La Rochère

The Périgord collection by La Rochère revisits a great classic of 19th-century glassware: the flat-rib cut pattern in pressed glass. A range that carries the charm of bourgeois French tables, made in the oldest art glassworks in France still in operation.

What makes the Périgord collection distinctive

Périgord takes the flat-rib cut motif, a signature of 18th-19th-century glassworks, and reinterprets it in contemporary pressed glass. Each piece bears finely relieved vertical ribs that catch the light and add depth to the table. Production is French, in Passavant-la-Rochère, in the glassworks founded in 1475.

• Pressed glass decorated with flat-rib cuts
• Made in Passavant-la-Rochère (Haute-Saône) — glassworks since 1475
• Inspired by 19th-century collections, with a bourgeois-table spirit

Choosing within the Périgord collection

Why is the Périgord collection well-known?

Périgord brings the flat-rib cut pattern back into fashion — one of the great classics of 18th-19th-century glassworks. It is this visual signature — vertical motif, play of light — that sets the collection apart from other pressed-glass ranges in La Rochère's catalogue.

Does the collection cover every use?

Yes. Périgord includes stemmed water glasses, stemless water tumblers, wine glasses, champagne flutes and bowls. It is a collection designed as a complete service, where each piece coordinates through the same decoration.

Which piece should I start a Périgord service with?

The 22 cl stemmed water glass or the 23 cl tumbler is the pivot size. For a complete service, complement with the 19 cl wine glass for table service and the 16 cl flute for special occasions. The 50 cl bowl adds a touch for breakfast.

Are Périgord glasses dishwasher-safe?

Yes. La Rochère pressed glass is dishwasher-safe. To preserve clarity and the legibility of the flat-rib decoration, prefer a moderate cycle with a mild detergent.
