Zéphir Busine & Manufacture de Boussu

Zéphir Busine was a Belgian designer and artist associated with the distinctive glass produced by the Manufacture de Boussu.

The Cristallin Boussu glassware is particularly recognisable for its controlled-bubble technique, where bubbles are intentionally incorporated into the glass to create texture and visual depth.

This technique gives the glasses their characteristic appearance: transparent crystal combined with a subtle pattern of bubbles suspended within the material. Combined with the elegant footed shape, the result is both functional and sculptural.

The original blue stickers are especially desirable for collectors because they retain a visible connection to the original manufacturer.

Why These Glasses Are Special

Unlike ordinary clear crystal glasses, these Cristallin Boussu glasses have a distinctive internal texture created by the controlled bubbles.

When light passes through the crystal, the bubbles create tiny distortions and reflections, making the glasses particularly beautiful on a dining table or drinks trolley.

The four-piece set is also ideal for collectors looking for original vintage Belgian glassware from the 1960s.
