Baccarat - Perfume bottle - Crystal - Pattern: Serpentine

An exquisite and substantial antique crystal vanity/cologne bottle produced by the prestigious French luxury manufacturer Baccarat. This piece features the highly sought-after "Serpentine" pattern, beautifully combined with the iconic "Rose Tiente" (often referred to by collectors as Amberina) colorway.
Design & Craftsmanship
The bottle boasts a striking optical design featuring spiraling ribbed bands layered with a raised, geometric diamond-point texture. The crystal showcases an exceptional gradient transformation, gracefully shifting from a clear, pale honey-amber base into a rich, vibrant cranberry-ruby red at the neck and stopper.
The stopper is original to the piece. The bottom plug of the stopper features the hand-engraved artisan number "147". During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Baccarat craftsmen custom-ground each stopper to fit one specific bottle perfectly, scratching matching numbers onto both components to keep them together through production.

Body: The glass retains brilliant clarity with beautiful color distribution. Minimal shelf wear to the base.
