About This Piece

Baccarat has produced fine crystal in France since 1764. The North Pacific Blue Whale figurine is one of their more sculpturally impressive animal pieces: the long tapered body, broad horizontal flukes, and deep translucent blue coloration make it visually striking from every angle.

The sticker plus dual-signed authentication (crest plus script) is a strong provenance marker and leaves no doubt about origin. Finding one in this condition with the original box intact is uncommon.
