Set of Drageoirs and Footed Bowls
Attributed to Baccarat
France, Circa 1870
A fine nine-piece cut crystal set, attributed to the Baccarat crystal works and crafted in France circa 1870, during the Second Empire. It comprises a pair of large covered sweetmeat jars, a large centerpiece bowl, and six individual smaller bowls. Finding such an ensemble fully intact has become rare. Each piece is cut with flat ribs and festoons that catch the light, imparting a vibrant brilliance to the crystal. All rest upon a baluster stem and a canted base, bringing harmony to the entire set. This design is closely related to the egg-and-dart cut crystal documented in the 1840 catalogue of Launay, Hautin et Cie. This Parisian firm distributed the productions of the Baccarat and Saint-Louis glassworks at the time, and its catalogues now serve as essential reference works for collectors. Originally intended to present dragées, confectionery, and candied fruit, sweetmeat jars and footed bowls were the pride of grand nineteenth-century tables. This ensemble will lend the same elegance to a festive table, a sideboard, or a vitrine.
