The legend of Tommy has lived and flourished since then. From its star-shaped base to the sparkling glints of the diamond, bevel, pearl and rim cuts, Tommy stands out as an iconic collection. In 1938, Tommy was officially presented at a prestigious luncheon hosted by the then-President of the French Republic, Albert Lebrun, at the Château de Versailles in the Hall of Mirrors, in honor of the British king George VI and his wife. Each of the 200 guests admired a series of 11 Tommy glasses. Eventually, 2,200 mouthblow and hand-cut glasses were produced for the occasion.
Tommy employs a unique technique of the doublelayered crystal (clear crystal lined with colored crystal) that offers depth to the eight emblematic colours. The crystal is then decorated portraying all of the signature cuts of the brand - star-shaped base, diamond, bevel, pearl and rim cuts. Named after the English soldiers celebrated in Rudyard Kipling's poems, Tommy is thus emblematic of the brand’s know-how. In 2017, Tommy came up with a brand-new product lighting. The two table-lamps (small and large)and a large oval vase launched display bold cuts upon the clear crystal.Tommyssimo joined the festivities with vibrant colours – dark-green, dark-blue, flanel-grey and red in a large vaseformat. These exceptional creations are numbered and limited to 188 pieces per colour.
