Title: Glass Vase - Amber Crystal - Alligator Pattern - ID = Baccarat Cuir vase
Post by: Patti3435 on July 26, 2011, 07:50:03 PM: Hi. Looking to see if anyone might recognize the maker of this amber colored high quality rose bowl/vase that mimics alligator skin? It appears to be from France, or Europe as Cuir means Leather or Hide in French. Lalique?! Probably not, but I can always hope! Any ideas? Thanks!

Wonder if there's some kind of mark under the sticker? Just for the fun, I ran the barcode through my iphone, but it didn't recognise that number. :pb:
