    While some might disagree, few glass companies enjoy the reputation for quality glass as does the French company Baccarat. For over 300 years they have produced quality glass and earned the reputation as the "Cristallerie of Kings." (Crystal manufacturer of Kings) While their clientele was primarily the upper class, they also produced quality utilitarian products for the middle class. Relatively inexpensive toilet sets of heavy molded crystal in patterns named "Rosaces Multiples," "Bambous Tors," and "Russe" accounted for more than their share of the sales. By the turn of the 20th century, these mass-produced patterns could even be purchased from mail-order catalogs and over the counters of department stores, which were not the customary Baccarat showplaces.

    These examples of Baccarat fairy lamps are c.1900-05. They came these three colors, Rose Tiente, Blue, and Clear. The pattern of the first example is called "Russe" (Russian) the remaining pattern is called "Rosaces Multiples" (multiple rossettes).

    All the underplates are embossed "Baccarat Depose".
