Atthe time, glass was considered a noble art. Comte Thibaut of Champagne,famous for having completed the Abbey of Clairvaux, saw the first theimportance of allowing gentlemen to settle in his province. Glassworkssettled to forest edge to find the necessary wood to ovens. The Bayelcountry was rich of all raw materials required for the manufacturing ofglass (wood, ferns, sand, lime, clay) that allowed to obtain a glass ofhigh purity. Very large privileges were granted to the glass makers,and some royal ordinances classes them as nobles.In parallel,since 1200, the glass manufacturing is developping in the island ofMurano in Venice, where the art of glass reachs highs.InFrance, it takes Colbert, Louis XIV\'s prime minister to see appearingart glass. It was at this time that Jean-Baptiste Mazzolay, glassmakerin Muranos came to live in Paris and located by the king, receivedpermission to open a glasswork. He then founded his factory in 1678that had the privilege of providing the court with usual objects until1727.
