Saint-Louis Apollo Gold Rim Caviar Set

The Saint-Louis Apollo Gold Rim Caviar Set carries the Apollo collection’s Venetian rib motif and adds a fine 24-karat gold rim at the lip, gilded by hand. Designed for dedicated caviar service, the gold rim detail traces the lip of the caviar bowl, and the clear crystal allows the presentation to be fully visible through the glass. The gold rim brings a quality of formal warmth to the Apollo’s already refined silhouette and reads at its best in a formal table service where the gold detail echoes candlelight or the shimmer of silver.

Every piece in the Apollo collection is mouth-blown and hand-cut by master artisans at the Cristallerie Saint-Louis in Lorraine, France. The fine Venetian ribs that define the Apollo silhouette are formed during the blowing process and then refined by hand-cutting in the cold atelier, demanding both the glassblower’s precision and the cutter’s skill to achieve the clarity and regularity that the collection requires. Saint-Louis’s artisans, many of whom hold the Meilleur Ouvrier de France distinction, are considered among the finest crystal craftspeople in the world.

Born from the classic motif of the Thistle collection in 1979, the Apollo line presents extreme refinement. Fine Venetian ribs on the parison and the surprising nic-nac bevel cut flow down the Apollo glasses like a cascade of pure water coming to bloom roundly. The collection draws its name from the god of light, and its graphic signatures — vibrant Venetian stripes and a delicate bevel cut — express the fluidity and brilliance of crystal in motion. Apollo has since expanded across tableware, barware, decoration, and lighting, finding a place in every room and at any time of day. Established in 1586, Saint-Louis stands as Europe’s oldest crystal manufacturer and has held the title of Royal Cristallerie since 1781.
