Antique Baccarat Glass Wee Emerald Green Fairy Lamp with Clark's Burglar’s Horror candle remnants. This little lamp has seen better days but it is 113+ years old. This is a diamond in the rough. It has a large crack on the top lid with flea bites on the top opening. It has one chip on the front and three small chips on the bottom feet. It shows ware on the bottom. I take the perspective that another Baccarat top would fit, actually the top was usually a clear top, and also the chips on the bottom feet are not seen unless it is turned over. The chip in the front shows character. The candle holder is stuck to the bottom and I did not want to remove it or clean inside the bottom, didn’t want to damage the candle holder. It must have been put in a lot of windows to chase the burglars away. I wonder how many houses it has seen or how many burglars it chased away. If you read the article in Collectors Weekly “Flashback: Burglars Horror “ it explains the story on how these were used and a picture of this lamp only not in green. It is marked on the bottom Manuf at Baccarat France. Also in the middle it has some letters but I can read them they are backwards and I don’t want to take the candle leftovers out. I want it to look just like it did the last time it was used. I love holding it and thinking of all the homes it might have lived in,
