The ‘Bambou’ design, characterised by its fluid, twisted ribs reminiscent of the plant of the same name, is one of the most famous and iconic moulded patterns from the Baccarat crystal works of the late 19th century. Crafted here from uranium glass — a glass tinted by the addition of uranium, giving it this translucent chrysoprase-green hue and its fluorescence under ultraviolet light — this toiletries or tableware piece perfectly illustrates the taste for coloured glassware.This item perfectly illustrates the taste for colourful and luminous glassware of the Victorian era and the Belle Époque.
Our piece follows in the distinguished tradition of Baccarat’s famous moulded crystal creations; it is particularly sought after for the freshness of its chrysoprase colour and the pristine condition of its original lid.
