In many cultures, the bat, this small winged mammal that lives in the dark, symbolizes luck, longevity and happiness.

The bat in this paperweight has been crafted using the blowtorch technique. The body is made from enameled amber crystal, while the wings are woven in black crystal. The precision of the detail gives a realistic appearance and an impression of flight. The bat is flying over a nebula at night. The enamel background is tinted by the use of gas, a technique employed by the paperweight workshop for the first time. The paperweight is encased in clear crystal then, covered in a triple overlay in flannel grey, white enamel and red crystal. A pontil cut allows the flying bat to the observed from several different angles.

Original text of Saint-Louis:
The paperweight workshop offers an optical illusion paired with a technical innovation. The crystal moulds included in a paperweight have been perfected for this model to create raised millefiori. Rods in green, white and red enamel, and rods in chartreuse green, white enamel and dark blue are prepared according to a predefined and strictly observed blue-print. The mould creating the raised background is placed on this bed. White enamel with blue overlay is added to the background, and the ensemble is then encased. Lastly, the paperweight is engraved with flat cuts, which overlap to accentuate the effect of being seen through a kaleidoscope.

Original text of Saint-Louis:
Also known as "the planet of gods" because it was used in divination rituals, ipomoea is the name of the flower encased in this paperweight. The blowtorch technique enables the flower to display its delicate shades of pink, red, black and purple. The encasing process for this piece is particularly complex, since the flower must be held in suspension while it is fixed into the crystal. The star cut is decorated with additional notched cuts to increase the reflections of the flower in crystal.

A prince in Western tradition, symbol of prosperity and an indicator
of approaching weather in the East, the toad is an animal rich in
symbolism all over the world. Created using a blowtorch, the very
realistic toad is suspended over a bed of millefiori representing a
French-style garden. The paperweight’s crown is cut from the same
crystal sphere and gilded with fine 24-carat gold.

Original text of Saint-Louis:
Only cherry blossom flowers are enclosed in this paperweight.
The precious moment of their blooming is preserved and frozen in
clear crystal, while deep flannel-grey cherry tree branches embrace
the surface of the paperweight. As poetic as the “Sakura” – the cherry
trees of Japan –, this paperweight defies both our gaze and our
perception of time.

Contemplating the sky through a crystal ball, this is the promise of
Clouds. Based on the millefiori traditional technique, rods are
exclusively made, cut to size and arranged to create the sky dotted
with clouds. Some clouds are darker, while others, lighter allow the
rising sun to appear beneath a crystal calotte.
