<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 2856618, member: 8363"]Because the red label didn't seem quite right - the "Baccarat" is not centered - I looked this piece up quickly before purchase. I found a slightly similar piece had a 50/70's date on it, so I thought perhaps it might be interesting. I'm not quite clear what the purpose of this fan-shaped crystal object is, though, since it is only 6 inches high, 7 inches at it's widest part and the opening a mere 1.5 inches. Perhaps, someone here can enlighten me. The engraving of vines and leaves is only on one side.</p><p><br /></p><p>The bottom has two etched labels - Baccarat in script on one side and a round label with what appears to be a wine bottle and two glasses and Baccarat France on the other.
