Vintage Crystal Vase

Description

I purchased this from a Chicago area estate sale. The woman who it belonged to was a shopper extraordinaire, noteworthy interior designer, and a woman of exceptional taste. She had this gorgeous butler's pantry with antique framed french menus, and layers and layers upon shelves and shelves of the most amazing crystal, glass, and silver....It was really the most inspiring home. So, that being said- there wasn't anything in the home that wasn't FABULOUS...She was the first person I knew to purchase a handpainted Venetian Silk light fixture that she bought in venice after I returned home with a catalog.

We believe this could be a vintage or antique baccarrat piece, but it is unmarked so I cannot verify that but will include a piece from a baccarat web site which looks very similar. (the piece shown is a two piece candy dish but the lines are so similar) It measures approx 7 inches high, by about 6 inches wide at it's widest point and the diameter is approx 5 inches at the top. It is fairly heavy or weighty and definitely would not blow over holding even the largest stems... This would make a lovely wedding gift.
