Why we love it:

The Lyonnais Quinquet glasses are inspired by the Fête des Lumières in Lyon, France. This unique Lyonnais tradition happens every year on December 8th when every house displays votive candles in little glass containers in all their windows to participate in the festival and light up the streets. We like to use the Lyonnais Quinquet just like this, as a votive and also as a drinking glass! Catherine pairs hers with the Laveno Montebello,  as a carafe and cup on her bedside table.
