Rare paperweight from the "Cailloux" or "Pebbles" series designed by Roberto Sambonet for Baccarat in 1975-77.
Polished on all sides, its design was meant to recall a sea stone smoothed down by the crashing of the waves.
Sambonet also designed the "Cailloux" to highlight the exceptional qualities of Baccarat crystal; feeling weighty and perfectly smooth in the hand, and resembling a crystal clear cube of ice.
This 6x6x6cm design was the foundation of the series.
