About JG Durand
J.G. Durand is a renowned French brand in 20th-century crystal glass. The brand is known for high-quality French lead crystal (24% PbO), which is lustrous, clear, and has a melodious tone to the touch. The glassware is often handmade and expertly cut, as is clearly evident in the delicate lines of this Mantua bowl.
The JG Durand factory is located in northern France, a region with a rich glass and crystal tradition. In the second half of the 20th century, many Durand products were integrated into larger crystal houses such as Cristal d’Arques and Arc International, making these pieces highly prized by collectors of vintage French crystal.
