NOTE Been compared by few collectors and myself with many Baccarat crystal glass designs, deep type deep cut, structure and quality of material, and by all been confirmed as a such. However is unmarked so you need to consider by yourself. Baccarat Glass was established in 1765 by the Bishop of Metz who wanted to encourage industry in the little village of Baccarat, some 250 miles east of Paris, France. The Verrerie de Sainte Anne at Baccarat made all kinds of utility. (windows, bottles, tableware) and flourished for many years. In 1815 the great French glassworks at Voneche in Northern France found itself outside the new French frontier in the newly created country of Belgium. The new company Voneche-Baccarat focussed on high quality. And over the past 180 years Baccarat have developed many new techniques in making the finest crystal glass. It soon became and remains today, the foremost glassworks in France. Baccarat is famous for its wonderful crystal paperweights, its superb crystal glass tableware, for 19th century lead crystal glass and for beautiful decanters, jars and bottles.
