Saint-Louis Amadeus American Water Glass No. 1

The Saint-Louis Amadeus American Water Glass No. 1 is the tallest and most generous of the three Amadeus stemware sizes, proportioned to anchor a full place setting with understated authority. Its rounded bowl and slender stem make it well-suited to water service throughout a meal, and its scale pairs naturally with the Amadeus Wine Glass No. 3 and the Champagne Flute to compose a complete table. In clear crystal, it reads as quietly luminous against any table setting, from formal to intimate.

Every piece in the Amadeus collection is mouth-blown and hand-cut by master artisans at the Cristallerie Saint-Louis in Lorraine, France. The bowl, stem, and foot are each formed separately and then assembled by hand using techniques transmitted through generations of the maison’s glassmakers. A delicate ring decoration marks the junction of bowl and stem, lending each glass a measured rhythm and tactile detail that rewards close attention. Seven artisans contribute their expertise to each single glass over the course of three days.

Named for Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the Amadeus collection was conceived by Saint-Louis as an expression of pure crystal in pure form: elegance that appears effortless while concealing the exceptional skill required to achieve it. The American Water Glass No. 1 is a cornerstone of this vision and an ideal starting point for building a Saint-Louis table. The Cristallerie has held the title of Royal Cristallerie since 1781 and remains the oldest crystal manufacturer in Europe, with roots in Lorraine glassmaking going back to 1586.
