Built according to plans by Barthélémy Jeanson, the buildings house workshops, offices, accommodation for administrators and workers as well as the ovens, installed in two conical halls. Until its acquisition in 1832 by the establishments of Saint-Louis and Baccarat, the crystal factory enjoyed great influence. Eugène Schneider, who became manager of the forges and workshops in Le Creusot, bought the buildings of the former crystal works which he made his residence. The Château de la Verrerie, a Historic Monument, is owned by the town of Le Creusot. Dimensions: 9 cm Height: 11 cm Reference: C10 459 All the photos are on: www.antiques-delaval.com
