Featured prominently in the official 1907 Baccarat commercial catalog, this pattern is a masterpiece of early 20th-century Art Nouveau glasswork. Each glass is designed in the classic Gondole silhouette, boasting an exquisite, highly detailed acid-etched rotating frieze of delicate bracken fern leaves and wild botanicals that resemble fine feathers. The bowls sit atop elegant baluster stems detailed with a triple-stacked knob/button motif, tapering down to clear, ground-flat bases. When tapped, they yield the legendary clear, long-lasting bell ring exclusive to high-purity antique Baccarat crystal. Dimensions: Exact 6 Height x 2 1/2 Rim Diameter
