From the Minneapolis Institute of Art record
Vonêche Glassworks is one of the earliest factories in continental Europe to create cut glass in the Anglo-Irish tradition, perhaps developed there by the English blowers and cutters Vonêche employed. In 1816 the factory was moved to France and absorbed into the Baccarat Glass Factory. Belgium
