Scalloped Oval Dish In Cut And Molded Glass - 18th Century
Scalloped oval dish in cut and molded glass - 18h Century
After the reign of Venetian glass, then Bohemian glass, came, in the 18th century, that of French glassworks, which had worked in the 16th and 17th centuries in the Venice style and which we were able to find around the 18th century a new style, their own.
France succeeds on the eve of the Revolution to produce lead crystal which offers a new quality of glass, close to rock crystal, by the brightness and whiteness but easier to work. It established itself on the markets in the 18th century, mainly for lighting, optics and table service. It was the starting point of the continental crystal with Saint-Louis, Sèvres, Le Creusot, Vonèche, Baccarat and Val-Saint-Lambert.
