French Vase

I was given a little money for my birthday and told to buy an antique I love when I go to Maine. Here it is!

I would like to learn more about it. I was able to find some information online but still have some questions.

Starting with the basics, the glass (I think it’s glass) is curved on the inside rather than the outside. Is there a name for this? Search terms to try? Also note, there are a few small bubbles.

There are items attributed to Baccarat that have this curving on the inside. My vase seems like glass (based on the sound when I tap it) but would the bronze stop the ringing?

Apparently Baccarat did make some glass items, so being glass does not rule out Baccarat. (Though it certainly may be a different maker.)

The bronze work is very very similar (but not identical) to a vase attributed to Baccarat.

One of the vases online (a different design than mine) that is listed as Baccarat has “France” written on the bottom. But on mine the lettering is simpler. (See the two photos). It could simply be that they were made at different times. Or that they were made at a similar time but my vase was made by a different maker as a more affordable version of the Baccarat vase (using glass and so on).

If you got to the end of this long post, thank you. : -)

 

Here is the vase being attributed to Baccarat:
