DescriptionThe mouth-blown glass has been produced since the 10th century and became widespread from the 16th century. Mouth-blown glass is a manual craft transmitted across generations. Verrerie de Saint-Just is the last French manufactory mastering this production. Regarded as the pinnacle of architectural glass, its character is expressed through inherent irregularities (bubbles, cords, surface ripples) that make each pane unique.
ApplicationsPreserves the authenticity and prestige of historic buildings. Ideal for the restoration of façades constructed before 1920.
Advantages- Restores the original aesthetic of historic façades and buildings.
- Creates a unique interior atmosphere thanks to the presence of bubbles, cords and surface vibrations in the glass.
