Saint Louis: A Tommy-style, Parma-colored, Cut Crystal Roemer Wine Glass.

- A "Tommy" model *Roemer* wine glass in Parma-colored cut crystal, made by the Saint-Louis crystalworks located in the Münzthal valley in the Moselle department (57) of the Lorraine region.
- The Saint-Louis manufactory is the oldest in France; today, it is part of the Hermès group.
- The Tommy model was created by the designer and decorator Joseph Bleichner, born in 1887.
- He served as head of the design, decoration, and fancy-ware departments at the Saint-Louis crystalworks.
- As one of the company's principal designers and decorators—working there from 1903 to 1957—he produced a vast number of designs and decorative patterns for Saint-Louis.
- His various design and decoration sketches are preserved at the Saint-Louis crystalworks museum.
- From its star-shaped base to the brilliant reflections of its diamond and bevel cuts and beaded bands, the Tommy model has remained timeless since 1928; its elegant lines grace the most refined table settings.
- This Parma-colored crystal *Roemer* wine glass does not bear the Saint-Louis stamp because it predates 1936.
- Before 1936, Saint-Louis used a paper label featuring the company emblem, which would peel off during the first washing; the engraved signature and logo only began appearing on their glassware sets from 1936 onwards. - This Parma-colored crystal Roemer wine glass is vintage and in good condition; minor signs of use may be visible. It is handmade, which accounts for the slight variations sometimes found (in height, weight, patterns, etc.).
- Far from being defects, these variations make this wine glass a unique piece.
- Appreciate them for the true value of the craftsmanship demonstrated by the master glassmakers at the Saint-Louis crystalworks.
