Baccarat Perfume Bottles have been produced by the Cristalleries de Baccarat company since the 19th century. (The company was established in France in 1764 and has been producing 30% lead crystal since 1816.)

Until the early 1900s their bottles were plain, but beginning in 1911 the company began to make more decorative bottles, inspired by other perfume bottle manufacturers like Lalique, Maurice Depinoix and Julien Viard. They began to produce high quality perfume bottles in romantic styles with Art Nouveau and Ethereral influences. In the 1920s and 1930s they made more Art Deco geometric perfume bottles.

All Baccarat Bottles made after 1936 have a stamped logo, others have an etched mark or a small round paper label. Earlier bottles were unmarked.
