This exceptional Baccarat France paperweight captures a refined moment in commemorative crystal artistry. The piece features a finely detailed white sulphide cameo portrait of President John F. Kennedy, encased in faceted clear crystal with a deep ruby red overlay. The multi-layered construction—clear crystal, ruby glass, and white cameo—creates striking visual depth and reflects light with elegance.
The sulphide cameo technique, perfected by Baccarat, produces a crisp, detailed portrait that remains brilliant against the dark red background. The faceted crystal form adds sophistication and weight to the piece, making it both a beautiful objet d'art and a substantial collectible.
Produced around 1963–1964 to commemorate the presidency, this paperweight represents a significant moment in both American history and French crystal craftsmanship. The piece shows excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or cloudiness. The Baccarat France marking is present.
Ideal for the presidential history collector, Baccarat enthusiast, paperweight collector, or anyone seeking a refined piece of commemorative crystal with both artistic and historical significance. A carefully selected secondhand find ready for its next home.
