About the glass: Of course, the bee cannot be missing from the glass collections of the largest French glassworks, La Rochère, which is particularly known for new editions of historical glass designs. Napoleon chose this small and yet extremely important and fascinating animal as his heraldic animal. This was officially announced at Napoleon's coronation, but beforehand the bee appeared everywhere in connection with the ruler. The bee could be found on his clothing, on his leather and furnishing accessories, on carpets and flags. Originals from this period can still be found in the Musee Carnavalet in Paris and the Abeille glass series from La Rochère also brings this historical detail to life. The striking bee pattern can also be found on the La Rochère Abeille wine glass. The base and stem are elaborately and strongly designed and the rustic country house charm of the glass simply makes something special. A strong red wine or a sweet white wine go equally well with this glass. About the La Rochere brand: La Rochère from France enchants us with beautiful, opulent and heavy wine goblets as well as other glasses for everyday life as well as special occasions. The design of the glasses is inspired by bygone eras, when table culture awakened and people discovered how much more enjoyable it could be. This not only fits into the country house style, but is particularly popular with people who love something special.
