Baccarat Crystal Owl Figurine

This is a vintage heavy lead crystal figurine depicting a stylized owl, often associated with the French crystal maker Baccarat. The piece is crafted from high-quality, clear, colorless crystal with a smooth, polished finish that exhibits high refractive brilliance. Its construction features a solid, heavy body with a rounded form, standing on two distinct talons. The owl's facial features are deeply molded, including large concentric circular eyes and a small pointed beak. The wings are indicated by subtle indentations on the sides, and the top of the head shows the slight characteristic tufts of a Great Horned owl. In terms of condition, the crystal appears to be in very good shape with no visible fractures, though typical age-related 'shelf wear' or light surface scratches on the base would be expected. This style became popular in the mid-to-late 20th century as a luxury desk accessory or paperweight. While a signature or 'Baccarat France' acid-etched stamp is likely on the underside, it is not visible in this photo. The overall craftsmanship is excellent, showing uniform clarity and lack of air bubbles (seeds), consistent with premium artisanal glass production.
