A great summary of Baccarat, with great photos.Only shortcoming was not showing more of the really spectacular chandeliers they have done over the years!

The book is beautiful, however I would have liked to see more of the glassware patterns. The photography is beautiful.

Beautiful book. Enjoy the superb photography showcasing this lovely crystal. It is a work of art not to be missed.

Fabulous history of an amazing company. Great photos!

Perfect reference book for glass professionals.
