Footnotes
As with the previous lot, this vase was created as part of Baccarat's display at the Exposition Internationale de L'Est de la France held in Nancy in 1909. An identical confiture was retained by the Baccarat factory for its own collection and is in the musée Baccarat. This was shown in the exhibition Baccarat, La Légende du Cristal at the Petit Palais in Paris in 2014/2015, see the accompanying catalogue, p.86 (right).
