"Compote Dish/bowl - Baccarat Style Tableware"
This is a crystal compote dish (which can be used as a fruit bowl or centerpiece) from the late 19th century.* Motif: Classic diamond point decoration on the bowl and a square, canted base.* Style: Baccarat. Unsigned model, as was often the case before 1936. This model closely resembles the productions of Baccarat's "Diamants Pierreries" or "Diamants Biseautés" series, dating from the late 19th century (circa 1880-1890). The base: In their catalogs of the time, Baccarat often offered this type of square base, known as a "star base," for its luxury compote dishes. The cut: The diamonds visible in the photos are extremely regular. At Baccarat, this precision was achieved by cutting with an iron wheel and then a stone wheel, which gives this striking relief. This object will add elegance to your tables and interior decor. French chic.
