History of Baccarat:
Baccarat was established in 1764 in the town of Baccarat, France. The town is located a little over 200 miles away from Paris. King Louis XV authorized Louis de Montmorency-Laval, the Bishop of Metz, to establish a glassworks in Baccarat. The production that ensued consisted of mirrors, stemware, and window panes until 1816, when the first crystal oven went into operation. By that time, there was over 3,000 workers employed.
In 1814 Baccarat introduced the Harcourt service. The Classic, timeless shape was an international bestseller. This innovative new cut magnified the light in the crystal.
In 1823, Baccarat received its first royal commission by King Louis XVIII. Afterwards, Baccarat received many royal commissions throughout the world.
In 1827, Baccarat became the first French crystal manufacturer to exhibit chandeliers.
Baccarat Crystal received a gold metal in the National Exhibition of Industrial Products when they became the first glassworks in France to create colored crystal in 1839. They remain today a leader in this art, particularly for the invention of the famous gold ruby red and opaline colors.

The glassworks at Baccarat in Lorraine was founded in 1764 under a licence from Louis XV and began making lead crystal in 1816. It supplied the French court and, from the nineteenth century, courts and heads of state well beyond France.
It is known for clear lead crystal of very high quality — stemware, chandeliers, paperweights and cut decorative glass — and remains in production at the original works.
Baccarat only began acid-stamping its mark in 1936. Earlier crystal is unmarked, and is attributed on form, cutting and quality — informed opinion, not a certification.
