What Is the Story Behind the Abeille Collection?

A Legacy of French Craftsmanship and History

Founded in 1475, La Rochère is the oldest continuously operating glassworks in Europe. The Abeille (Bee) collection pays homage to Napoleon Bonaparte, who adopted the bee as his emblem—a symbol of immortality, industry, and the resplendent landscapes of Provence. This motif, once reserved for imperial grandeur, now graces your table, connecting you to a rich tapestry of French history and craftsmanship.

From Molten Glass to Masterpiece

Each Bee Wine Glass begins as a blend of sand, silica, soda, and lime, melted at over 1,400°C. Skilled artisans gather the glowing glass with a blowpipe, shaping it into glasses that capture light and sparkle with charm. The result is a glass that is as durable as it is beautiful, designed to be cherished for generations.
