Topic: Baccarat Vase ?? Or swapped label?

[Frank]

It's OK Cat... Personally, I think Baccarat are the fools as any tourist taking home imported glass from Baccarat, is telling all of their friends that they have a whisper Baccarat glass. Their friends look at it and think,  "pfft so this Baccarat stuff looks no better than the cheap glass in the florists shop."

On top of which they have now managed to get their name associsted with snobbery and nouveau-riche (negative sense) taste, a great shame considering Baccarat were a great glassmaker and is now just another commercially exploited brand name - regardless of how good current production may be. Oh and of course they sell glass through Franklin Mint too so add comedy to their list of present day attributes.

I recently saw one of these in a charity shop with a white oval sticker outlined in blue which stated made in china

Oh Dexter! Wish I'd seen it, any likelyhood it is still there?  I just knew it wasn't Baccarat,  but came to the conclusion it was probably a souvenir from the area rather than made at the Baccarat glassworks.  Could that explain the use of Vessiere "a" Baccarat as opposed to Vessiere "o" Baccarat?   Its not that I'm a doubting Thomasina, but I just like to see something myself, you know what I mean I'm sure.
It was comforting to see that you all came to (mostly) the same conclusion.

Thankyou all for your replies on this, for me this is all part of the fun of identification.

Hi Pat, i will be in that area tomorrow, and shall have a look to see if it is still there, but like a lot of Chinese product's it could be a copy.
