Where is Baccarat crystal made?
Baccarat crystal is crafted exclusively at the historic Manufacture in the small town of Baccarat, located in Lorraine, northeastern France. This singular location reflects the House’s unwavering attachment to its roots and its original terroir since its founding in 1764. The Manufacture—a true industrial cathedral nestled in the heart of the Vosges forest—spans over 12 hectares and houses workshops where centuries-old traditions meet technical innovation. Within these storied spaces, 13 Meilleurs Ouvriers de France—the highest number among all French luxury houses—and 2 Chevaliers des Arts et des Lettres preserve and transmit an exceptional savoir-faire handed down through generations. Driven by a deep commitment to passing on their knowledge, the Manufacture also hosts an in-house school, where several Meilleurs Apprentis de France are trained each year. In a perfectly synchronized choreography, these masters of fire transform raw material into extraordinary objects. A profound bond unites them—an unspoken harmony. Thus begins the journey through the workshops, where each piece is touched, refined, and contemplated time and again. Every creation is the result of a collective endeavor, shaped one by one by artisans bound by the same passion for excellence and a shared love for the House. Each glass, each vase, each Baccarat object is a true work of art—bringing joy, light, and beauty to every moment of life. From its gold medal-winning pieces at the Universal Exhibitions to its most contemporary collections, Baccarat’s savoir-faire is a legacy unlike any other. For nearly 260 years, the men and women of Baccarat have carried us into a captivating universe—an inexhaustible source of energy and emotion. The fire of passion has never ceased to burn—and it burns forever. The Baccarat Manufacture also hosts the “Baccarat Collection,” a heritage museum that presents the exhibition “The Joy of Living Among the Greats of the World Since 1764.” Featuring over 600 works, including exclusive pieces from the perfume bottle collection of George Stam, this artistic journey immerses visitors in a narrative of grand celebrations and everyday moments of joy.
