Title: Gilt Crystal
Post by: 11wrighta on November 27, 2012, 08:29:21 AM

My grandmother inherited these two pieces of gilt crystal from her mother.  Can anyone identify who made these and when?  I know someone took a look at them and suggested Baccarat...but they were not entirely certain.

I have never seen Baccarat with that kind of applied decoration !!

    There is a chance these are done by Silver City.  Silver City takes glass from various makers and applies Silver and gold decorations, usually for Weddings and Anniversity, most popular is their Poppy pattern that is very common, but they made many less common patterns.  It does look like their work.
