Andrew Cox Antiques has dated this Victorian Glass Dump Paperweight to the 1860s.
The body is ovoid with a flattened base for stability.
This particular sulphide is missing half of the Rose. However, owing to the rarity it certainly does not detract anything from the piece.
Helpfully, an example of this rare dump is illustrated in the English Bottle Glass Dump book, showing a complete example. This example is included within the photographs for reference and clarity.
With a number of uses, this is an attractive and very collectable example. Dimensions below.
