It is prominently featured in the Baccarat Museum and is considered one of its most important designs ever created by Baccarat. This pitcher was the premier design of the "Memoire/Recontres" reproduction collection that showcased 23 of Baccarat's most extraordinary designs and the skill of their award winning craftsman.
