"Bacchus, Green, and Green was founded in 1818 at the
Union Glass Works on Dartmouth Street, Birmingham, England. In
1833 the name was changed to George Bacchus & Co. George
Bacchus died on September 6th, 1840, and in 1841 the firm became
George Bacchus & Sons. …George Bontemps was manager
of Choisy le Roi glassworks from 1822-1849, when he left to head
a glass factory in Birmingham, England. It has been suggested
that this could have been Bacchus. That there was a strong French
influence on Bacchus, there can be no doubt." -Annual
Bulletin of the Paperweight Collectors' Association (1980). |
