Baccarat: The name 'Baccarat' is synonymous with fine crystal. In 1843, they made their first Vaseline glass, calling it cristal dichroide. It is unknown when they stopped making it, but it was not made for any extended period of time. Of the few pieces seen today, most are always marked with raised text: BACCARAT. Any piece found is generally fine crystal and will sing when flicked with a fingernail. Here is a rare open salt (or possibly a small nut dish), that is marked on the inside, "DEPOSE BACCARAT".  EXCELLENT condition!

I specialize in paper, photos, coins, and militaria and charge GA residents sales tax. If the item is not old I say so and also state defects. If you know more about an item than me speak up as I do not mind learning or being told I am wrong and strive for accuracy. You can always learn more in this business. If I make a mistake, and we all will from time to time, I will take total responsibility.
