Consuming “made in France” using local artisan products is an honorable choice to showcase the know-how of our country. It is the manual work of the material, a passion narrated by virtuosos with fairy fingers who cut, engrave, sculpt, paint. They wield tools with exceptional skill and ingenuity. This is the commentary written on the blog of Michaël Vessière de Baccarat.
Vessière Cristaux is a passionate family story, striving to promote the art of glassmaking in France since 1882. A secular know-how bequeathed by Justin Vessière, brilliant crystal cutter and engraver in Nancy.

A feminine silhouette
Today the 5e This generation of the family business is driven by the same desire to illustrate this historical tradition of glass art, drawing its source from Lorraine to bring glass art up to date and make it known worldwide. The Vessière house offers articles on artistic collaborations Daum, Lalique, Baccarat and on glass creators.
As such, this house praises five French favorites, 100% Lorraine, including a glass paste work of art produced by designer Laëtitia Bontems from Vannes-le-Châtel.
Her artistic work “Blue Fire” representing a female silhouette is a pure marvel. It perfectly evokes the dance of the strange blue flames of the Kawah Ijen volcano in Indonesia. His parents acquired the original creation, but two copies remain.
The artist, always inspired, has other works to her credit: “Parée” published in the Cerfav’s guestbook and “Abysse” a magnificent achievement in dreamy blue. On March 17, 2022, Laëtitia Bontems will be at the Beaux-Arts in Nancy to talk about her creations and the 30 years of Cerfav. Outside of her job as a bakery and pastry delivery driver, she is always full of inspiration. She has other projects in mind to perpetuate local know-how.
