Baccarat glass refers to the luxury crystal produced by the Baccarat company, founded in 1764 in the town of Baccarat in Lorraine, France, under the patronage of King Louis XV. Originally a glassworks, the company gained international renown in the 19th century for its exquisite lead crystal, admired for its clarity, brilliance, and masterful craftsmanship. Baccarat became synonymous with luxury, creating chandeliers, stemware, perfume bottles, and decorative objects for royalty, nobility, and world exhibitions. Its iconic designs often feature deep cuts, bold geometric patterns, and richly colored crystal, including the famous ruby red created with 24-karat gold. To this day, Baccarat remains one of the most prestigious names in fine crystal, balancing historic artistry with contemporary design.
