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 Baccarat soon began to receive a steady stream of commissions from heads of state and royalty throughout the world. Throughout their long and illustrious history Baccarat has worked with a number of the world's most notable artists and designers including Salvador Dali, César, Roberto Sambonet, Van Day Truex, Thomas Bastide, Andrée Putman and Barbara Barry. Their collaborations with these and other top designers and artists has allowed them to introduce a number of innovative and compelling collections over the years. As time has gone by Baccarat has expanded their selection of beautiful crystal to include vases, scent and perfume bottles, figurines, bowls, and paperweights as well as jewelry, clocks and chandeliers. Their long and proud history continues to this day with new collections and product lines introduced regularly to great acclaim.
