This "Paperweight" is a beautiful example of the intricate glasswork produced by Baccarat Glassworks in the mid-19th century. The clear glass base showcases a delicate floral motif of three white flowers with green leaves, creating a captivating miniature garden within the paperweight. The craftsmanship of Baccarat is evident in the vibrant colors and meticulous detail of the flowers, showcasing the artistry of glassblowing during this period. The paperweight would have served both a functional and decorative purpose, adding a touch of elegance to any desk or tabletop.
