Post by: buttonfluff on December 23, 2009, 04:37:35 PM

My photos arent the best as the paperweight is cut and sparkles too much,its dome shaped with oval cuts all around that make a flower shape on top ,,the base is sunray/star effect its very heavy and seems to be cut and not moulded,clear glass in centre with uranium casing -no makers marks ,can any one identify ?   there is a discription on worth point same pattern and measurements as 1900 baccarat ?

Hi.

I have not seen a Baccarat like that, but have seen several similar Webb Corbett items, and some possibly Bohemians. So, taking careful account ofthe 'never say never' issue, I would vote for Webb Corbett on this one!

(I really don't think it is Baccarat.)
