Baccarat ? French ?

I am struggling to see why this weight is attributed to France, let alone to Baccarat. I would have thought there were many possibilities for a simple design like that. Does the seller think it is a rock ground?

Seller is based in Bournemouth which is probably the closest this weight has ever been to France ;)

Looks like an Indian-type weight - although the colourway is better than the usual red/white/yellows....

At least it isnt priced unreasonably, but the description is wildly misleading....
