Title: help please with mark on paperweight ID: CFC, Cie Francaise de Cristal
Post by: uncommonglass on September 09, 2008, 11:01:35 PM

I give! I don't think this is a high quality piece, the butterfly is glued onto the base. I could be wrong, but whatever, I just want to know to know who made the blasted thing. 

Not Baccarat, not St Louis, Not Nancy but the mark is similar to all three
- a circle with CRISTAL at the top, FRANCE at the bottom, and a wine glass in the center.

It's about 3 inches tall.

Frank - thank you!  :D  The little begger was really bothering me!  Now I can google the name and find out how ordinary it is!

CFC used the mark on pieces made in Vannes after 1970; same works also produced the Daum and Sèvres brands.
