Verrerie Cristallerie d'Arques began in 1825 as a small glassmaking workshop in Arques, France, and the Durand family took it over in the late 19th century. In 1968, Jacques Durand launched the Cristal d'Arques brand, the first to market lead crystal stemware, with more than 24% lead oxide, made by automatic processes. That made crystal affordable to far more households, and today the company is known as Arc International.
