This elegant crystal owl paperweight showcases Baccarat's sophisticated animal sculpture artistry, created during the 1980s-1990s when the legendary French crystal house was perfecting modernist sculptural forms. The stylized perched owl demonstrates the refined geometric simplification and clean lines that made vintage Baccarat animal sculptures highly collectible. Artisanally created in translucent crystal, each flowing curve captures the essence of the wise owl while maintaining the functional beauty and substantial weight that transforms any desk into a showcase of French luxury craftsmanship.

The crystal weight provides excellent paperweight functionality while serving as a conversation-starting desk accessory that bridges sophisticated design sensibilities with timeless animal symbolism. The owl's serene presence and crystal clarity create elegant light effects that enhance any professional or personal workspace. Complete with its original Baccarat presentation box and authentic gold label, this piece represents museum-quality provenance and careful preservation since its original retail purchase.
