    I picked up the Baccarat piece, it’s very nice(multi-faceted). The back side has an “oval” indent. Overall, a gorgeous piece. However, I can’t seem to find anything like it. Found some Bijan Bahar Baccarat sculptures that are similar but this one isn’t signed Bijan Bahar. Hope someone can help me, because I am stumped. It measures 7 1/2” tall and is signed Baccarat.
    Thanks in advance!

    What I circled in Green looks like Baccarat. Is there something else where I circled yellow?

    Ok, I think its the mirror image of Baccarat on the other side. :)

    Green is the signature, yellow is a reflection.

    You probably already know that the acid etch script mark is the modern mark.
    Although, I haven't been able to find when they actually started using it.

    I don't believe that Baccarat commissioned too many designs from Bijan Bahar, but the piece shown here is rather similar to his work.

    To me, it looks like someone took a bite out of the Washington Monument!

    Bajar is, of course, known for his work in acrylic, not glass, and I'm pretty much assuming that he provided the design(s) only for the pieces Baccarat made. (i.e. I don't believe he does any glass work himself, but I don't know that for certain.)

    This piece does resemble an obelisk made by Baccarat with his name on it, but it isn't the same:

    (from: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Baccarat-C...526433?hash=item21511931e1:g:Z8IAAOSwBt5ZHwgh )

    Perhaps the easiest thing would be to ask Baccarat(?)

    (Bijan Bahar's own website says he's too busy to accept emails. :rolleyes:)

    It can be this one broken and repolished, this was made to transform unsalable lamp foots into sculptures, I'm near certain there is one in my workshop transformed like that by cutting a part.
    I'ts part of thinks you can make a "signed Baccarat" paperweight with it…
