The nine-inch, shallow bowl, deeply engraved with "Intagio Cherries" that is shown in the intaglio engraving file can confidently be attributed to Compagne des Cristalleries de Baccarat, 1904, based on Curtis (1992, pp. 205-206). The same can not be said for the following two items, however. Lacking catalog material and an example in Curtis's book, this French attribution (also Baccarat?) is based only on the high quality of these items and their "style". Both have a high lead content, but, unfortunately, their weights were not logged. The compote and the goblet were found separately in upstate New York in 1989-90. They are cut in the same, unknown pattern.
