The crystals of Baccarat located not far from Nancy. This documentary shows us how crystal parts are made, step by step. The artisan pulls out the molten crystal block from the oven with a cane and wields it to give it some shape. A second craftsman, the blower, helps the first in his task by continually blowing into the block. The glass maker continues to form the piece. Engravings and decorations are then added and the piece is polished. In the crystal factories of Baccarat, works a famous glass artist, Aristide Colotte. He made grandiose works such as the crystal sword of Marshal Pétain, placed in a frame of crystal flames. This one weighs over 400 kilograms.
