This small, round "Paperweight" was produced by the famed French glassworks Baccarat in the mid-19th century. Made of clear glass with applied colored enamels, the paperweight features a delicate white flower with green leaves and buds. This type of glasswork, known as cameo glass, was highly popular during this period, showcasing intricate details and vibrant colors. The paperweight is an example of the skilled artistry and technical mastery of Baccarat, a company known for its exquisite glass creations.
