Offered in this sale is an antique studio art glass paperweight that I believe dates to the 19th century. I do not know too much about paperweights so there is not too much I can tell you about this piece. I acquired this earlier this Spring ago along with a large collection of early American pressed pattern glass. I believe the previous owner may have been a dealer long ago. Almost all of the glass in the home was American. I had thought that this might be Sandwich Glass but it could also be French such as Clichy. This particular paperweight measures 2" in diameter x 1 1/2" tall. The underside of the base is cut flat and polished. The condition is fair - AS IS. It has OVERALL surface wear, scratches and bruises. There is also an internal line near the base perhaps created as a result of an impact at one time. Even with the flaws which are evenly distributed this is a nice early example.
Please be sure to enlarge and zoom each image for a close up view of the detail of the decoration and condition. Do not hesitate to send me a message if you have questions or would like additional images.
I always guarantee everything that I sell to be as described. This piece is being sold without a reserve as long as there is an opening bid. The shipping cost within the United States is .00.
