La Soufflerie mouth-blows the Royal in Paris, by hand, one piece at a time. It is a tall, full-bellied carafe, sized to take a full bottle of wine decanted with room to breathe, or a loose handful of blooms standing tall at the centre of the table. Like every piece in the La Soufflerie catalogue, the Royal is mouth-blown from 100% recycled glass - bottles and broken windows folded back into the furnace and given another life. The fumé is a soft, smoky grey that shifts toward translucent in direct light, and reads almost charcoal against a darker surface. No two are the same. The bubbles in the wall, the slight asymmetry of the neck, the thickening where the breath has rested — these are the evidence of the hand and the lung that made it. Exclusive to Australia. Show more
