A fabulous & rare pair of baccarat acid-cameo double overlay blue-cased white opaline glass vases circa 1860-1870. Each vase decorated on the front and reverse with Bacchus or Ariadne in a chariot surrounded by scrolling foliage and anthemion beneath a waisted neck enhanced with a Greek key pattern. Each vase is exceptionally hand-carved and second-to-none in quality. Baccarat is the best crystal and glass manufacturer in Europe. These vases truly demonstrate the quality and attention to detail Baccarat emphasizes on their glass. The figures on either side of the vases are exceptionally hand-carved, etched and acid-washed, giving them their beautiful pronounced details. The figures, animals, and chariot demonstrate a three-dimensional tone, with shadows and variable hues to the blue and white areas, which really make the images pop off the surface. To help complete these beautiful masterpieces, Baccarat added 24-karat gilt decoration to the upper and lower sections of each vase.
