ID help French weight

The weight below came from France, and the canes look modern Baccarat to me. But is not a Baccarat production piece. The base is flame polished with pontil mark, but ground so it sits flat; the set up is a closepack, but not drawn under, and the glass had a few too many bubbles in it for passing Baccarat quality control. Diameter 61 mm, height 40 mm.
 
Any ideas? An apprentice piece? One made elsewhere with Baccarat canes? Anyone seen one like it?
