Luminarc (France)

The Luminarc brand was created in 1948 by Jacques Durand, with the name coming from the fusion of “Lum” for light and “Arc” for the historical geolocation of Arques (in northern France). 

Luminarc is part of the French company Arc International, rebranded from Verrerie Cristallerie d'Arques which has been in production since 1825. It's one of the many brands under the still-operating and highly-successful company, which also owns Arcopal, Arcoroc and Cristal D'Arques.

Popular ranges from Luminarc from the mid-century period include Cavalier, Römer and Rosaline.
