This "Paperweight," created by the Baccarat Glassworks around the 1840s, is a stunning example of cameo glass. The piece features a vibrant cobalt blue background with an intricate, white, engraved scene depicting a man and his dog in a woodland setting. The glass is faceted, adding to the intricate detail and visual appeal of this decorative object. This type of paperweight was popular in the 19th century and is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the Baccarat Glassworks.
