LORRAINE: Alsace Itinerary
Krafft-Xouaxange


Crystal Factory

During 2009 Bruno Lehrer only had the engraving factory available to see. For 2010 he will have the glass blowing available to see as well. It will be possible for our guests to see crystal from beginning to end.

Bruno Lehrer is the master cutter of his crystal factory.  He is seen here engraving a gift for one our guests.

The finished product is just beautiful as our guests look on. One is the lucky recepient.

Anyone who wishes can have a turn.

This visit is tied with Colmar as the top excursion of the week.

It is easy to see why it takes 7 years to become a master craftsman

Even my wife gets into the act.

Our guests fell in love with the complexity of these vases.  A flower is carved on one side and concave cuttings are done on the front side.  One sees the flowers through the concave cuttings.  The effects are beautiful.  We bought this vase and a smaller one in Cobalt blue. 

Mr. Lehner ships these items to your home if you do not have room to carry them.

We found prices about 1/3 of those in retail stores.  This is true outlet shopping.
