In my opinion modern Baccarat closepacks (concentric or not) and carpet grounds (a closepack style) comprise some of the finest representations of these forms ever made. While these modern Baccarats may not be as rare as the 19th Century versions, they are still quite rare and far more normally found in fine original condition than are the antiques. I included gridels in these pages because they are often closepacks as well.
