The rounded belly form, sometimes referenced in archival catalogues as Bursa or Marillon, is deeply cut with a repeating floral and foliate motif executed by hand on clear lead crystal.

The base carries the acid-etched Baccarat signature used in the mid-20th century. The pattern belongs to a limited series of engraved designs produced by the firm during the postwar period, distinct from later molded lines. A refined example of Baccarat’s traditional hand-cutting and engraving techniques, suitable for display or service.
