Step into the world of La Rochère, France’s oldest glassmaker. At Malmaison, we’re proud to be Australia’s largest stockist, curating the widest range of timeless French glassware since 2003. Discover glassware with history in every line, and beauty in every pour.
Since 1475, La Rochère has been producing glassware in the heart of France, making it the oldest continuously operating glass factory in Europe. Each piece is a quiet celebration of heritage, hedonism and home, crafted not for display, but for daily life.
At Malmaison, we curate La Rochère because we believe in the beauty of the everyday.
From the joyful clink of a morning juice to candlelit dinners with loved ones, these pieces are made to be lived with, sturdy, dishwasher-safe and designed to carry memory as much as wine.
Whether you love the rustic charm of the Napoleon Bee collection, the regal etchings of Versailles, or the Renaissance romance of Lyonnais, every glass tells a story of place, of legacy and of the small pleasures that shape our lives.
La Rochère glassware is thick-walled, generous in weight and full of light-catching detail, the kind of pieces that feel grounding in the hand and timeless on the table. Embossed with iconic motifs and inspired by centuries of French art, cuisine and culture, each collection offers a tactile experience that awakens the senses.
La Rochère’s artisans marry historical craft with modern ease. These are pieces to keep close. Whether you’re setting a table for one, or hosting under fairy lights, they’re not about perfection, they’re about presence.
This isn’t glassware you save for guests. It’s the glass you reach for every morning, the one that feels right in your hand, that catches the morning light just so. Over time, it becomes part of your rhythm - steady, beautiful, familiar.
Crafted in the same region of France since 1475, each piece carries centuries of savoir-faire. You're not buying a trend. You’re welcoming a story into your home, one shaped by generations of glassmakers and the poetry of daily life.
La Rochère glassware is grounded and generous, made thick, made to last, made for living. It’s the kind of beauty that can handle a busy breakfast table or a joyful clink after a long day. Elegant, yes ... but never fragile.
The texture. The weight. The way the motifs invite your touch. These aren’t just functional pieces, they’re sensory, and when you choose things that feel good to use, your home becomes more than a place. It becomes a haven.
With every piece you bring into your space, you're telling a story of calm, of comfort, of your own style.
Whether it’s a Bee-embossed tumbler or a Versailles goblet, you’re not just styling a table. You’re creating atmosphere.
You don’t need a reason to make things beautiful, and La Rochère reminds you that even ordinary moments like a solo lunch, a refreshing glass of water, deserve a little deserve your full attention and a little grace and beauty.

True gifts aren’t just things - they are emotions you can hold .
Each La Rochère piece is made from durable, pressed soda-lime glass, known for its strength, clarity, and everyday practicality.
Dishwasher safe for easy, effortless living
Thick-walled and weighty offering a grounded feel in the hand
Moulded by artisans, using a traditional pressing technique refined over generations
You may notice a faint vertical seam, a hallmark of authentic pressed glass. This reflects the moment the mould opens, and is gently fire-polished as part of the finishing process. This subtle line is a natural part of the glass’s character, especially on pieces with embossed designs.
Please avoid extreme thermal shocks (like transferring directly from fridge to oven) to preserve the integrity of the glass.
For over 545 years, La Rochère has brought glassware collections to life, each one telling its own story, like markers of time rooted in French heritage. Updated for today’s lifestyles, La Rochère shares these stories with you, tracing past into present, unravelling the art and the joy of each design.
