Discover the Snake 2025 #4, the new paperweight by Saint-Louis.
In this paperweight, the snake appears to be a mischievous character from a colourful cartoon. It is dressed in two complementary hues: green and red. Its head is in pale green crystal, while its body is fashioned from a combination of red and blue millefiori sugar drops.
Vigilant and alert, the hypnotic creature is coiled atop a bed of green millefiori floating above a fascinating blue setting. The latter features a generous assortment of dark blue, light blue and white sugar drops. From its post, the snake watches what is happening on the other side of the crystal. A circle cut into the top of the crystal ball creates a magnifying effect, allowing us to discreetly observe the snake and immerse ourselves in its shimmering world.
When the paperweight is moved, the elements come to life and change depending on the angle.

Discover THE SNAKE 2025 paperweight Saint-Louis.
Today, Saint-Louis crystal is the only one that still creates these precious sulphides. As early as the 16th century, Murano’s glassmakers made glass balls in which they trapped twisted rods and multicoloured ribbons. The first paperweight signed by Saint-Louis was not created until 1845. Follow the creations of the Baccarat and many others. The infatuation is immediate and the vogue lasts until 1860. Production then declined and ceased towards the end of the century.
From time immemorial, the paperweight intrigues, questions and excites. These little glass balls are part of the history of French glassware. Collectors include Queen Victoria, Empress Eugenie, King Farouk, and Jeanne Lanvin
Saint-Louis perpetuates this tradition with an exclusive production. Indeed, every year, four to eight paperweights are created in limited and numbered series.
To better understand this know-how, Saint-Louis offers a visit to its workshops by reservation. During your visit, a stop is made at the paperweight workshop. Each paperweight need ten hours of work! Five to six people work at this workshop, requiring great patience.
