Authentic French-Made Wine Glasses

Discover La Rochère wine glasses genuinely made in France and selected for their distinctive craftsmanship, character and everyday versatility.  From historic French motifs to beautifully textured pressed glass, these are wine glasses with authentic provenance as well as timeless appeal.

Designed to be enjoyed rather than stored away for special occasions, La Rochère wine glasses bring French craftsmanship to everyday meals, relaxed lunches and evenings shared with friends.

Coloured French Wine Glasses

Introduce colour to the table with richly toned French glass in shades such as emerald, olive, aubergine, deep blue and rose.  Coloured wine glasses offer an effortless way to create a focal point while allowing dinnerware and table linen to remain beautifully simple.

Choose a single colour for a coordinated setting or mix complementary shades for a more relaxed, collected table.

Etched Crystal Wine Glasses

For a more refined setting, Malmaison’s Floral and Fishnet crystal wine glasses bring delicate etched detail to the table.  Hand-crafted in Slovakia, Floral offers a softer botanical character while Fishnet introduces a cleaner geometric design.

These European crystal glasses sit beautifully alongside Malmaison’s French-made glassware while offering a different expression for celebrations, gifting and more decorative table settings.

Wine & Water Glasses

Selected La Rochère designs are generously proportioned and versatile enough to serve either wine or water.  These larger stemmed glasses are particularly useful when you prefer an elegant, coordinated table without needing a different glass for every beverage.

Gift-Boxed Wine Glass Sets

Beautifully presented wine glass sets make thoughtful gifts for weddings, engagements, anniversaries, milestone birthdays, housewarmings and hosts.  Selected Malmaison designs are available in gift-boxed sets, making authentic French glassware an elegant gift with lasting appeal.

Authentic French Glass for the Table

There is something distinctly different about glassware with a story behind it.  La Rochère wine glasses bring genuine French craftsmanship to the table, with pressed patterns, substantial proportions and decorative motifs that have become part of the character of French dining.

Designed to be enjoyed rather than saved away, they move naturally from a glass of rosé over lunch to red wine with dinner or a chilled white shared outdoors with friends.  The glass itself becomes part of the setting - adding texture, history and personality without making the table feel overly formal.

For everyday dining, pair clear French wine glasses with simple ceramics and relaxed linen.  For entertaining, introduce coloured glass, candlelight and seasonal flowers.  Etched crystal can add another level of refinement for weddings, anniversaries and special celebrations.

Rather than trying to create a perfectly matched table, combine pieces you genuinely enjoy.  French pressed glass, favourite ceramics, natural linen and complementary crystal can create a setting that feels collected, welcoming and personal.

Discover Iconic La Rochère Wine Glass Designs

Bee

One of La Rochère’s most recognisable collections, Bee features the historic Napoleonic bee motif and is available at Malmaison in both clear and coloured glass.  Its timeless shape and distinctive detailing make it equally suited to everyday meals, long lunches, celebrations and gifting.

Lyonnais

Lyonnais is distinguished by its elegant silhouette and intricate interlacing pattern.  Inspired by a historic La Rochère design, its textured surface catches the light beautifully while retaining the relaxed character that makes French pressed glass so versatile.

Ouessant

Clean vertical lines give Ouessant a more contemporary expression.  Its understated pressed-glass detailing works easily across both modern and traditional tables, making it a particularly versatile choice for everyday wine and entertaining.

Périgord

Périgord combines a timeless silhouette with distinctive ridged detailing inspired by traditional French glassware.  Substantial and practical, it is a classic choice for customers who appreciate French heritage without excessive ornament.

Versailles

Decorative shell and floral motifs give Versailles a more ornate character.  Inspired by the elegance of Versailles, these glasses bring beautiful detail to the table and are available at Malmaison in clear and selected coloured designs.

Dragonfly

Decorated with graceful dragonflies, this collection brings a lighter French Country character to the table.  It works particularly beautifully for garden lunches, alfresco entertaining and relaxed seasonal settings.

Fleur de Lys

Featuring the historic French royal lily, Fleur de Lys has unmistakable French character.  Its balanced proportions and decorative motif create a wine glass that feels elegant without becoming overly formal.

Clear or Coloured Wine Glasses?

Clear wine glasses are timeless, versatile and easy to coordinate.  They work effortlessly with almost any dinnerware, table linen or seasonal colour palette while allowing the texture and detailing of the glass itself to remain the feature.

Coloured wine glasses offer a different kind of appeal.  Rich greens, blues, aubergine and rose can become the accent that brings an entire table together.  They are particularly beautiful against white ceramics, natural linen, timber and complementary flowers.

There is no need to choose one approach exclusively.  Mixing clear and coloured French glass can create a relaxed, personal setting, while a matching set provides a more cohesive look for entertaining and celebrations.

Authentic French Glass by La Rochère

Founded in 1475, La Rochère is a historic French glassmaker whose distinctive pressed-glass collections continue to be made in France.  Drawing on centuries of glassmaking tradition, French cultural references and designs from its own archives, La Rochère continually reinterprets its heritage for contemporary everyday living.

Malmaison has stocked La Rochère since 2003, making the brand an important part of our French glassware story for more than two decades.  From the iconic Bee motif and historic character of Périgord to decorative Versailles, textured Lyonnais and the cleaner lines of Ouessant, each collection offers a different expression of authentic French craftsmanship.

Designed to be beautiful yet practical, many La Rochère wine glasses are dishwasher safe and made for regular use rather than being reserved only for special occasions.  This balance of heritage, character and everyday versatility is central to their enduring appeal.

The Wine Glasses collection also includes selected etched European crystal hand-crafted in Slovakia.  This allows Malmaison to offer genuine French pressed glass alongside complementary European crystal while remaining clear about the provenance of each range.
