From 2024 onwards, Cristallerie de Montbronn will be offering a range of colour-doubled crystal in 13 different colours, from the most traditional to the most modern. Constantly evolving, our House is keen to offer as many customisation possibilities as possible to customers who share our love of the poetic material that is crystal, and is ambitious about the continued future expansion of our rich range of colours.

The creation of coloured glass requires the combination of several elements and demands a great deal of work as well as special know-how, which is the basis of excellence for the cutter.

Until the 19th century, colour specialists were concentrated in Bohemia, the Mecca of glassmaking.

In terms of equipment, it is necessary to use a pot furnace with several crucibles containing colouring metal oxides (nickel, copper, chromium, cobalt, etc.) previously added to the classic composition. Two successive layers of crystal, one clear, the other coloured, make up the glass. When the glass is cut, the first layer of clear crystal is revealed, hence the name coloured crystal.
