Vannes le Chatel glassworks was founded in 1765 in the Lorraine department of France. By 1900 it had become one of the leading producers of glass in France moving into the production of decorative pieces using lead crystal. In 1960 the company merged with four other glassworks and it is in this guise, the Compagnie Francaise du Cristal, that it continues to manufacture glass until the present.
