France
In France, the classic period of paperweight production is considered to be ca. 1845 to 1860, after which, their popularity steadily declined, although they continued to be produced at a couple of glasshouses into the 1880s. The main French producers were Baccarat, Clichy, St. Louis and, to a lesser extent, St. Mandé, Grenelle and somewhat later - in the 1870s - Pantin.
