Tommy Wine Decanter with Handle

The Saint-Louis Tommy Wine Decanter with Handle brings Tommy’s star-shaped base and diamond, bevel, pearl, and rim cuts to a handled wine decanter for formal service. The handle makes pouring from a full decanter comfortable through a long dinner. The star base catches light from below while the cut program on the parison animates every angle above it.

Every Tommy piece is mouth-blown and hand-cut at the Cristallerie Saint-Louis in Lorraine. The star-shaped base is cut by hand, as are the diamond, bevel, pearl, and rim cuts that cover the parison — a sequence of interventions that passes the piece through multiple specialist cutters before it is complete. The colored pieces achieve their hues through Saint-Louis’s masse coloring technique, in which metallic oxides are introduced during the melt to produce saturated, consistent tones throughout the crystal body.

Tommy has been part of the Saint-Louis collection since 1928, making it one of the maison’s most enduring designs. It came to wider fame in 1938, when it was chosen for a luncheon at the Palace of Versailles attended by King George VI and Queen Elizabeth of the United Kingdom — an occasion that sealed its place in the history of French hospitality. From its star-shaped base to its parison adorned with diamond, bevel, pearl, and rim cuts, Tommy reflects the full dexterity of Saint-Louis’s master glassworkers. Its straight, confident lines have graced the most refined interiors, including the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles. Today it is Saint-Louis’s bestselling design worldwide, spanning tableware, barware, tea service, decorative objects, and lighting across a complete family of clear and colored crystal. Established in 1586, Saint-Louis stands as Europe’s oldest crystal manufacturer, holding the title of Royal Cristallerie since 1781.
