In 1764 King Louis XV of France allowed a glass factory to open in the town of Baccarat. It was founded by Prince Bishop Cardinal Louis-Joseph de Laval-Montmorency and has become one of the world’s great creators of crystal chandeliers, paperweights, and decanters. One of the strongest production areas is for crystal perfume bottles, where it produces over 4000 crystal bottles per day. Each year, Baccarat introduces a crystal Christmas ornament with a simple design that is popular among collectors and most recently, a colored glass butterfly.
