The French bee was originally chosen during the coronation of Napoleon to appear on his official coat of arms. The la Rochere glass collection was inspired by an authorized travel set belonging to Napoleon in which the bee pattern was used. Today that pattern is displayed in a Paris museum, the delightful 3-dimensional bee adorning each piece of la Rochere glassware. La Rochere glass is known for its uniquely clear and beautiful look, yet is sturdy -- heavy-duty enough for every day use, and dishwasher safe. Founded in 1475, the la Rochere factory is the oldest glass factory in France, producing this unique and collectible glassware by melting a mixture (around 1450 degrees centigrade) of sand, soda, and lime, with other added ingredients.

I am extremely pleased with my La Rochere glasses, they come out of the dishwasher spot free.

These are beautiful glasses. Wash well. 2 have already broken, one while being put on the counter and the other while being place in dishwasher. Neither action was forceful, but immediately the glasses shattered. Hopefully the remaining 4 will hold up.
