Description from the seller
Exquisite Antique Baccarat Crystal Tazza – Figural Centerpiece.
A rare and elegant marriage of world-class French crystal and classical sculpture.
This stunning centerpiece (Tazza) is a true collector’s item, combining the brilliance of Baccarat crystal with a highly detailed figural base. The crystal bowl features the iconic 'Pointe de Diamant' (Diamond Cut) pattern, renowned for its ability to catch and refract light with diamond-like fire.
The bowl is supported by a beautifully cast zinc alloy (régule) pedestal featuring a classical 'Putto' or young Atlas figure. The figure is captured in a dynamic pose, holding the bowl aloft, resting on a decorative tripod base adorned with floral scrolls and ornate feet.
Key Highlights:
Maker: The crystal is clearly marked with the "BACCARAT" relief signature (see photos).
Period: Fin de Siècle / Belle Époque (circa 1880–1910).
Craftsmanship: Hand-cut crystal bowl with a heavy, detailed patinated base.

Bowl Diameter: 20 cm
Base Diameter: 10 cm
Condition: In excellent antique condition. The crystal is remarkably clear with no major chips or cracks. The base retains its original, rich dark patina, adding to its authentic historical character.
