The technique of sandblasting, now extinct, remained a real mystery for a long time.
By the end of the 17th century, objects of total perfection were appearing in France, a trend that continued into the 18th and 19th centuries. There are over 150 tiny pearls (approx. 1mm) per square centimeter. The name "sablé" is simply a reminder that the refined objects made from it are covered with pearls as fine as sand.
Production is so small that it is attributed to anonymous hands, convent girls or noblewomen. This art form flourished in the first half of the 19th century, before dying out.
