Baccarat, cut with Japanese landscape, circa 1880

Baccarat, cut with Japanese landscape, circa 1880 Its wheel-engraved decoration stands out on a crystal of great purity. It is a Japanese landscape: wild geese fly above a sea, whose molded waves recall those of Kanagawa by Hokusai. At the back emerges an immense sun recalling Japan's nickname, the "land of the rising sun". The cup rests on a gilded bronze mount decorated with four partridges, perched on branches laden with fruits or flowers. Two of them are pecking at fruit. Founded under Louis XV, the French crystal factory Baccarat demonstrated its excellence at Universal Exhibitions throughout the 19th century. The Baccarat stamp, affixed from 1875, is found under the base of the frame. Baccarat created another bowl with an equally Japanese decoration, blown in an identical shape, the details of which are highlighted with gold and brown. It also rests on a Japanese-style gilt bronze frame.
