French Glass from
The Glass Encyclopedia
A short explanation of French Glass:The great French glass factories of Baccarat and St. Louis were both founded in the 1760's. But it was not until the next century that they became serious players in the world glass scene. Their cut crystal glass was some of the finest ever made.
During the 19th and early 20th centuries French glass-makers became world- leaders, with artists such as Galle, Lalique, Daum, Schneider, Sabino, Argy-Rousseau and many others. Paris France was the center of the Art Nouveau movement in glass at the turn of the 19th century, and twenty years later led the world with the Art Deco movement. The list below on the left has links to pages with more information on each of the major French glasshouses.
