The Vineyard Grape crystal pattern by Bayel (Cristallerie de Bayel) was primarily produced during the mid-to-late vintage era (1960s to 1970s). Founded in 1666, the Cristallerie de Bayel (now often known as the Cristallerie Royale de Champagne) is one of the oldest and most prestigious mouth-blown crystal manufacturers in France. Located in the Champagne village of Bayel, the factory is celebrated for a centuries-long legacy of handcrafted crystal glassware.
Key Historical Milestones

• 1666 (Establishment): Venetian master glassmaker Jean-Baptiste Mazzolay established the glassworks under the patronage of the monks of Clairvaux.
• Royal Status: King Louis XIV granted the factory the exclusive title of Manufacture Royale (Royal Manufacturer of Crystal) due to its exceptional quality and strategic location between Chaumont and Paris.
• 18th - 20th Century: The factory supplied elegant crystal tableware, chandeliers, and decorative pieces to aristocrats and royal tables across Europe. It experienced a notable creative peak during the golden age of the Decorative Arts (1925–1940).
• Industrial Decline: The factory employed hundreds of workers at its height in the 1970s, but faced economic shifts as large-scale industrialization took over the luxury market.
• Present Day: Traditional glassmaking continues as a craft and heritage endeavor, while the historic factory site has been transformed into the Bayel Crystal Museum, which preserves the village\'s rich glassmaking history.

I found no significant condition issues with the item, but signs of previous use and ownership should be expected consistent with its vintage timeline and should be taken into consideration with age and ownership.
Please note: I will accept any reasonable offer.
