The vannes-le-châtel crystal factory (1765 – 2021) is an essential place for the creation of glass art in france. It is here, since 1765, that artists and craftsmen meet there to give the glass all its letters of nobility. The vannes crystal factory is part of history, contributing to the creation of glass masterpieces as well as the transmission of complex know-how. Created in 1765 by the countess of mazirot de reims, the company passed through several hands until the time of the merger with the glassworks of vallérysthal and portieux, and those of bayel and fains in 1970. The vannes glassworks became the compagnie française du cristal (c.f.c) and then joined daum under the name c.f.c daum. Originally, these were ordinary fabrications, which were unsigned. The company gradually switched from glass to crystal between 1962 and 1964. Marketing under the brand "cristal de sèvres" from 1970, and "daum" from 1980.
