Baccarat Millefiori Mushroom Turquoise Double Overlay Paperweight - 1971

Baccarat 1971 Millefiori Mushroom Turquoise Double Overlay Paperweight Baccarat 1971 Millefiori Mushroom Turquoise Double Overlay Paperweight. dated 1971. This modern millefiori paperweight features a wonderful six row concentric millefiori design with design pulled down to the base to form a slender stem, completing the mushroom form. The outer ring alternates between blue and yellow canes to create an interesting pattern when viewed from the base. The design is placed over clear crystal and finished with a turquoise and white double overlay. It is signed with a Baccarat complex "B1971" signature / date cane in the fourth ring from the center. This paperweight is also signed twice on the base with an acid etched Baccarat mark along with the engraved year (1971) and edition number (153). The overlay is faceted with one large top facet and five side facets. A fantastic paperweight Please Note: The stand shown in the pictures is not included with the paperweight. It is shown for illustration only.Note on white glare: Please ignore the white areas, they are glare from the light.Note for International buyers: If the final price is $400 or more, this paperweight must be shipped by USPS priority mail. If you are outside the US and wish to buy this paperweight, please contact me first with your address and I will check the availability and cost of postage.A mushroom paperweight is one that contains an upright, mushroom shaped tuft of millefiori canes. Below the tuft at the top, the canes are pulled down to form a stem. Typically the top is either a closepacked design or a close concentric design. Sometimes, especially with antique paperweights, a torsade is added surrounding the stem of the mushroom. Millefiori mushroom paperweights like this are among the most difficult paperweights to make. Add the double overlay and you have an extremely challenging and desirable paperweight Note on limited editions: After extensive research in the Baccarat archives, Paul Dunlop concluded that popular designs like this were numbered editions, but not limited editions. Baccarat made them in more than one year as sales demanded and numbered the production sequentially. I am not entirely in agreement, but I am content to adopt Dunlop's terminology and refer to this as a numbered 1971 edition. I believe Baccarat intended to limit production of challenging designs like this double overlay mushroom. The records, if any, remain to be found.Baccarat was founded in 1776 in Alsace-Lorraine with the name of Verrerie de Sainte Anne. The original location was near the town of Baccarat.

The original location was near the town of Baccarat. Today the firm is known as Compagnie des Cristalleries de Baccarat. Most collectors refer to three periods of Baccarat paperweight production. 1845-1860 - Classic period 1900-1934 - Dupont period 1953 - on - Modern periodThis classification is definitely an over simplification as it is likely that Baccarat made some paperweights on and off through most of 19th century. The best millefiori and lampwork paperweights were made during the classic period (1845-1860). Pansy weights, rock weights, and some millefiori weights continued in production until much later. Some paperweights are identified as Dupont period and were made at the end of the 19th Century or early in the 20th century. Baccarat started making modern paperweights in 1957 and continued to make paperweights until 2002.
