About Egyptian Glass

Trejour's pieces are crafted entirely by hand at a workshop in Cairo, using one of the finest raw materials: German Pyrex glass. While our pieces look extremely delicate, and in the case of our hanging ornaments, quite heavy, they are neither, thanks to the use of Pyrex.

The quality of our glass allows elaborate detailing in the hand-cut designs, glass frills, and deep, intricate 14 carat goldwork. This high-quality foundation also allows the superheating of our pieces for a deep, rich coloration that is contained within the glass itself.

Our scent flasks have stone-ground throats and stoppers. Any precious essence with which you choose to fill them will be protected from evaporation. This technique has been in use as long as there have been scent flasks; essences kept in flasks like ours have been discovered in 2,000-year old tombs, still intact.

Other companies often use inferior recycled soda glass (sometimes called Indian Pyrex); this glass is so brittle that only the roughest detail can be worked into the glass. Their coloration is cloudy, pale or splotchy because the glass cannot be superheated; it will melt in the ovens.

Our unique designs are always blown by the artist who conceived them. If he leaves the workshop, the design is never attempted again. The same is true for the cutters and fillers.

Consider Trejour Company if you wish for a true, hand-blown work of art using German Pyrex, 14 carat gold and some of the most beautiful designs and finishing available anywhere in the world.
