A Bit of Trivia:
  • Did you know that JG Durand is a brand under the Arc International?  It is a French manufacturer and distributor of household goods established in Arques, Pas-de-Calais in 1825.  The other brands under the Arc group are Luminarc, Arcoroc, Crystal d'Arques, Long Champs, Salviati, and Pyrex.
