Baccarat celebrates 250 years of history

Luxury crystal brand Baccarat is celebrating its 250th anniversary with a special book.

From the extravagant Charles X pitcher in 1828, presented to the king on his visit to the factory, to the Unicef Crystal Snowflake sparkling at 57th Street and Fifth Avenue, the brand is known for its rich heritage and fine craftsmanship.

The book, Baccarat: Two Hundred and Fifty Years, showcases more than 300 pieces of art. It features magnificent photographs and unpublished drawings from Baccarat's archives. Priced at HK$850, the book is available at Baccarat boutiques at Landmark Prince's and the Peninsula, and at Baccarat's showroom in Causeway Bay.
