Produced by the Royal factory of Glass and Crystal of La Granja (Real Fabrica de Cristales da la Granja), the renown Spanish royal glass manufacturing factory in San Ildefonso, near Segovia. It was established in 1727 by Philip V of Spain and funded by the crown. The Catalan artisan Buenaventura Sit installed a small oven, which manufactured float glass for the windows and mirrors of the Royal Palace of La Granja de San Ildefonso, which was under construction in the 1720's. The wares of the royal factory were exported to the Americas.
