accarat is the
crystal of kings, precious yet
playful. Whether a classic goblet or fanciful chandelier, Baccarat
represents a superlative in glass.
Its 170 year history stands for the ultimate in clarity, color and classicism.
The pieces in these pages attest to this
standard, as well as to the joie de vivre
that infuses every great work of decorative art. In contemplating Baccarat,
we think of its analogues in porcelain, the vivacious harlequins of
Kaendler, the large animal sculptures of Meissen made for Augustus the Strong in 1731,
one of which now reside in
the Victoria & Albert Museum.
