Through a meticulous choreography, Baccarat's magicians of fire turn materials into exceptional objects. There is an absolute complicity between them. Is Baccarat a glass or crystal? The new company Voneche-Baccarat focussed on high quality lead-crystal glass and over the past 180 years Baccarat have developed many new techniques in making the finest crystal glass.
