Paperweight c. 1845 - 1860

This 19th-century paperweight, crafted by the renowned Baccarat Glassworks, showcases a delicate blue flower with green leaves, a popular motif for Victorian-era decorative arts. Made of clear glass, it exemplifies the glassmaker's skill in layering colored glass to create intricate details, characteristic of the "Millefiori" technique. This small but beautifully crafted object was a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the Baccarat Glassworks, and a prized piece of decorative art in the 19th century.
