The origins of crystal-ceramics in the early 19th century
The rapid development of the crystal manufactures (Saint-Louis, Montcenis and Baccarat) was made possible by a favorable economic climate and a supply of top-quality raw crystal, as evidenced by certain exchanges with the Vonêche manufactory.
In the space of two decades, production capacity became absolutely enormous, and the range of objects produced became even more diversified.
At the same time, the European neoclassical trend was evident in the mass distribution of copies of antique cameos, which were initially presented framed and were very popular.
Saint Amand is credited with the first attempts to include cookie cameos in crystal. This know-how was twofold, since it involved not only mastering cameo carving, but also mastering the composition of cookie pastes and their firing. It takes around ten years to produce successful pieces. Most of them feature the effigies of influential contemporary figures: the deposed Emperor, his wife, Louis XVIII, the Comte d'Artois, the Duc de Berry, his wife or the Duchesse d'Angoulême.
