can anybody help me on this. i know the vase is made by baccarat , it is lead crystal, and i have a hunch that it is from before the 1860's
what i'm more interested in, is who the artist is that made it
it might even be from the king louis 5 era
the dragon is painted with fine detail in gold
with a left veiw on one side and a right view on the other side of the vase
how can i identify it ?

how do you know it's made by baccarat?
"This Memoire Gold Dragon vase was originally created in 1882. At that time, the Asian-inspired decorative dragon pattern also adorned several pieces from Baccarat’s lighting collection."
This Quote came directly from Baccarats website. Hope it helps. No Luck in finding the artist of the design yet, but I'm still searching.
i know it is differrent because of the markings , and the actual design, that picture i put on here is my vase
and i would like some help finding one of the 4 possible artists
it might be asian inspired, but i'm sure it is made by a french artist because of the fleur-de-lis , on the dragons back.
