Baccarat CrystalBaccarat Crystal is renowned worldwide for their beautiful crystal and glass creations. Baccarat was founded in 1764 in Baccarat, France. They initially manufactured mirrors, window panes and glassware including wine glasses until 1816 when they began to produce fine crystal. This proved to be an important turning point for the company. Their reputation for making high quality crystal quickly grew and in 1823 they received their first royal commission from King Louis XVIII of France for a set of fine stemware. It was very well received and they soon began to receive a steady stream of commissions from heads of state and royalty throughout the world. Over the years they have expanded their beautiful crystal offerings to include vases, scent and perfume bottles, bowls, figurines, and paperweights as well as jewelry, clocks and chandeliers. Here at The Prudent Collector we are pleased to help you find the best prices on new and antique Baccarat crystal and other glass items.
