Description
An Antique Baccarat Millefiori and Gridel Figure Paperweight
France, with date canes for 1849, the spaced millefiori Baccarat weight with numerous animal form canes and opaque filigree work. Note: The animal form figural canes first appeared in Baccarat canes in 1846. They were produced after Baccarat's general manager, Jean-Baptiste Toussaint, found his young nephew, Emil Gridel, cutting animal silhouettes from black paper. Toussaint borrowed the silhouette designs for cane molds, thus the term Gridel figures.
