Offered here is an exquisite Baccarat crystal paperweight featuring a detailed sulphide (ceramic cameo) of the Liberty Bell, beautifully encased in rich cobalt blue crystal. This striking design was produced by Baccarat, France, in the mid-1970s to commemorate the United States Bicentennial (1776–1976).
The paperweight showcases Baccarat’s masterful craftsmanship, with a cobalt blue, star-cut ground and a clear crystal overlay featuring six side facets and one top facet. The underside displays a finely cut starburst (sunburst) pattern that catches and refracts light brilliantly. The piece bears the acid-etched Baccarat hallmark on the base.
