Overview & History
Founded in France in 1764, Baccarat is renowned for the clarity and brilliance of its lead crystal - stemware, vases, chandeliers, and figurines, including the signature Rouge (red) pieces. Among collectors, antique 19th-century millefiori paperweights are especially prized. Value depends on the form, size, rarity, and age, with grand chandeliers and antique paperweights commanding the most, while contemporary barware and decor are more accessible.
Identifying & Marks
Modern pieces carry an acid-etched 'Baccarat France' logo (used since 1936); older pieces may be unmarked and identified by quality, weight, and design. Antique paperweights are judged by their canes, dating, and condition.
