Title: Baccarat Tantalus Set Age? Help Please
Post by: obscurities on June 05, 2009, 02:56:05 PM

I have had this for a number of years. I know nothing about it other than the decanters are Baccarat as identified by the underside mark. From the Baccarat I have been exposed to, the decanters have always struck me as a little different for their work. Any info about these would be appreciated...  Age, rarity etc. Unfortunately, one of the decanters has a large crack, and one is perfect....

TIA,  Craig

Andy, Excellent recommendation... Don't know why I did not think of that.....  I guess I think of them for Silver and China....   not as much for glass....   because that is how I have used them in the past.
