| The last crystal fires of Saint Louis |
| |
| After five years, the furnaces where an eternally simmering lava of sand and lead used to make crystal glass are finally dismantled. Like the Phoenix, they later rise from the ashes. A very delicate operation at the St. Louis crystal glassworks … The process of destruction and reassembly lasts 5 weeks and costs approximately 2 million euros. |
