The design of the Périgord glass collection comes from La Rochère and is immediately noticeable through the flat shaped sides and the beautiful base of the glasses. The thick glass impresses with the rustic flair it exudes and of course there is a charming touch of history surrounding these La Rochère glasses. The Périgord series was inspired by glasses from the 18th century, which were then produced in fluted shapes. The look with the flat sides appeared increasingly in the second half of the 18th century during the reign of Louis XVI - no wonder, because at that time the perfect setting of the table with crockery, cutlery and matching glasses became an absolute must. Since around 1770, connoisseurs and aesthetes have known about the value and benefits of different sized glasses for wine and spirits. The Périgord series, a new edition from La Rochère, thanks to its striking shape and thick glass, is a beautiful, rustic everyday accessory that not only looks great in country houses. By the way, Périgord is the (historical) name of a landscape and region in France that is famous for truffles, wine and great gastronomy: the Dordogne department. The Périgord mug from La Rochère is part of this wonderful collection and can be used as a universal drinking glass in any situation and for almost all drinks. It stands on a round base that gives the glass that certain extra something.
