Appraisal: Baccarat Glass Vanity Set, ca. 1920
GUEST
I got these in Europe-- in England, actually, and they're Baccarat.
APPRAISER
Uh-huh.
GUEST
And the lady told me that they had buried them during World War II to prevent them from being damaged.
APPRAISER
Baccarat is one of the premier glass companies in France, and it's an old company and is still in business today. The interesting thing about the set you brought in, it's extremely rare to find these vanity sets so complete. I'm amazed. You have an atomizer, two stoppered bottles, a soap dish, and a lidded box. Each one of these would be in the $300 to $400 range, and these would be in the $200 range, so I didn't add that up real fast, but what did that come to?
GUEST
$1,300.
APPRAISER
Oh, you did it, oh, great. Thank you so much.
