PW529. Baccarat 1969 8-ring Close Concentric Museum piece. The design comprises eight rings of intricate canes with cool colors in the outer rings and warmer colors within. One ring includes a date cane of “1969”. Drawn-in staves. The job of a glass artist working in this form is to fill the glass orb with beauty and awe. I appreciate ones like this with carefully constructed drawn-in staves, making the base an integral part of the amazing design. The bottom is marked with the Baccarat logo. Condition is excellent dome with negligible shelfwear – well-preserved for all of its more than half century. 3 1/8 inch diameter; 1 7/8 inches tall; one pound and three ounces. $550
