How $13,000 Paperweights Are Made The Oldest Crystal Factory in France | Insider Business

I appreciate that even though they won't give away their exact, secret recipe for their lead crystal that they do at least give us the basics of glass batching. It's the least that the French could do for us.

The video's mostly about the coolness of Saint-Louis glass blowers and carvers, but it's really cool to watch the glass being worked - especially the millefiori paperweights. Again, if you're looking for something to get your friendly, neighborhood blogger for Christmas...

It looks like the nearest Saint-Louis store to me is in Chicago...one more reason to get back to the Windy City.
