Clichy (Cristalleries de Sevres et Clichy) glass

The Clichy glassworks was a French glass factory that was active in the 19th century. It was founded in 1837 in the town of Clichy, a suburb of Paris, by a group of Belgian glassmakers. The factory quickly gained a reputation for producing high-quality glassware and was known for its intricate and detailed designs.

During the mid-19th century, the Clichy glassworks was one of the most important glass factories in France, and its glassware was highly sought after by collectors and art connoisseurs. The factory's glassworkers were skilled in a variety of techniques, including engraving, acid-etching, and the use of multi-colored enamels.

Clichy glassware was particularly known for its use of bright and vibrant colors, as well as its use of a type of glass called "pate-de-verre," which is made by mixing glass powders with a binder and then molding the mixture into more... the desired shape. This technique allowed for the creation of highly detailed and delicate designs.

The Clichy glassworks closed in 1885 when it merged with the Cristallerie de Sevre.
