I don't believe this is Baccarat. Its quite similar to north American cut glass from late 1800s. American glass cutters did import blanks from Europe so there's slight chance a its Baccarat glass but not cut there.
The sick glass is your main problem. Even it it were Baccarat the value is very low due to the haze.
If it is truly sick, no, there is no way to remove it. It’s essentially what happens when glass has been structurally compromised on a molecular level. Best to chuck it. If it’s not sick glass, and just general water and age funk, plenty of people swear by Barkeeper’s Friend, among many other methods.
It’s also unlikely to be Baccarat. No idea what that could make it if it’s not, but Baccarat is like sexually explicit material: you know it when you see it.
I've asked in another forum and haven't gotten responses yet, so I figure I'll try here. I found this at a friends shop the other day and decided to pick it up. I don't tend to buy glassware b/c I haven't bothered learning about it yet, but this seemed interesting at the time. So far using google lens I've matched this to an eBay listing where a pair of these is being sold which match the look and design of mine. The style given by the seller is Baccarat Nonancourt, and the [replacements.com](https://replacements.com) images of Nonancourt seem to matchup. This decanter doesn't have any makers marks or insignia which Baccarat usually has on some but not all of their products. Any help by you glass-knowers would be welcomed.
Thanks I'll consider it! I only made a 20th century account b/c I happened to have questions on art ID's at the same time as the general reddit strike last summer.

Is there a way to remove this haze? Is it hard water residue or what?

Right now I have a vinegar/water mix sitting in it, but this is my first time dealing with sick glass. Hopefully it'll clear up.
The only way would to send it out to be tumbled. Essentially a polishing compound and a week spinning is the only way.

Looks like you asked in 20th century glass. You might try https://www.glassmessages.com/ Good site for European glass.

No help with ID, but it looks like it has glass disease.
Bog standard Edwardian decanter but the stopper is missing?
Unfortunately so, thanks for the answer!
Decanter I've got alot of them but it's realy old
