elegant crystal salad/luncheon/dessert plate made in France by Baccarat, makers of some of the finest crystal in the world. The pattern is called "Arabesque", a motif embellished with flowers and acanthus leaves around the edge of the plate. The center has a crosshatched design with a star in the middle. Created for Baccarat in the 19th century, this pattern was originally made in a complete table service (with jug, decanter, goblets and various stemmed glasses). Today, production of Arabesque is limited to a 6" dessert plate and a small 5" bowl.
