Just to get things started, I would go for 1920s baccarat.  Someone will have a more qualified answer later I guess.

Hi Don.

Are you able to provide a larger resolution image of the canes?  The basic facetted shape and general design could well be Clichy, but it could have been facetted later, I suppose.

Hi All

here is a close up. The pink pastry mould canes pushed me towards the Clichy side, while the 6 printies and other canes pull me back to the Baccarat position.... help please! . It has been repolished as the former owners must have used it as an ice hockey puck.... it had a severe wear ring in the top as well as the base. The printies were there in it's original battered appearance, so I don't think they were a later addition.

Thanks

Don

Hi Don.  Thanks for posting the image. I think it is a Clichy paperweight.
