Baccarat Sevigne Champagne (2)Baccarat Sevinge SherbertHard to believe that I have been maintaining this blog for more than 4 years.  Back in the day I posted everyday, sometimes more than once.  Of course I don’t buy enough ‘new’ old glass to keep up that pace of posting!

Since 2012 I have come across a few more pieces of Sevigne.

The photo below is the liquor cocktail.  The top left photo is the white wine, the top right photo is the champagne/tall sherbert and the last photo in this update is, I assume a low sherbert.  Pretty pieces all

Despite the photo of the tall sherbert, I think my photos have gotten better over the years.  I’ve finally learned how to edit.  Took a long while.

This photo does not do justice to this glass.  I bought a bunch – 14ish – at an auction in Brighton (Ontario).  Normally I don’t buy anything I don’t recognize, but they were being sold cheaply at the end of the day.  My research lead me to believe that they are French – Baccarat and that the etch is called Sevigne.  I’ve seen various dates for their end of production.  But it would appear that the end of the line was late 19th century or early 20th century.  I have (am guessing) white wines and champagnes.  I never use these as they are way too small.  If I’m going to pour wine, it’s likely into a water goblet.  Saves time in the refilling.  They are very dainty.

IMG_5486I can’t recall where I picked up these glasses – Around the Block perhaps.  I saw them and was convinced that they are Baccarat.  The etch is reminiscent of the Lafayette etch.  I thought it would be a breeze to identify the pieces.  Alas, it has not been.

Maybe I will Google image search the photo and see if I find a match.  I’ve not had good luck in the past with those searches.IMG_5490

If anyone knows, I would love a hint.  In the interim, they are beautiful pieces.

 

Unknown Etch – Could this be Baccarat?

001I was in Denver recently. It is a beautiful city set in beautiful surroundings.  There is a strip of antique stores on South Broadway and the area is coined “Antiques Row”.  I trolled the shops but didn’t buy any new pieces of glass.

However….I have recently been thinking about this stem.  I came across a pattern that resembled this particular etch at Replacements.com awhile back when I was searching for an identification for another piece.  It is what they are calling BAC61 by Baccarat.  I’ve gone back and forth on the etch for ages.  The blank is not the same, but the designs are very close.  I don’t have the glass at hand to compare as it is likely in a box in the garage.  But they do look very similar.

Patterns always look slightly different on differing shapes of course.  But…..perhaps this piece is no longer an unknown.

002 (4)I’ve never seen this etch before.  I picked this single glass up recently.  The bowl is small – likely a sherry, but it is still tall.  It has a very attractive stem.  I know I’ve seen the stem before, but just can’t place the company.  It kind of reminds me of stems that I have that are imports from Europe.  I’d love to hear from someone about the provenance.
