An English Victorian glass dump paperweight dating from 1870. The piece takes an ovoid form in bottle green glass, incorporating an internal display of frosted flowers set within a pot, alongside controlled bubbles and a pontil base. The solid object measures 9.5 cm high, 6.3 cm wide, and 6.3 cm deep. Suitable for placement on a gentleman's library table, a study shelf, or an office desk, this item functions practically to secure loose papers while adding decorative character to a workspace. The smooth polished exterior catches the light, contrasting with the textured internal floral motifs and bubbles suspended in the dense glass body. The flat base provides stability for display on flat surfaces.

FAQs

Originating in 19th-century Britain, glass dumps were created by glassworkers using leftover molten slag glass at the end of shifts, resulting in dense decorative doorstops and paperweights, typically rendered in green bottle glass.

These items were hand-blown using heavy green glass, incorporating internal sculpted floral motifs or air bubbles created using specialized hand tools or chalk inserts before being encased in additional molten glass.

Authentic pieces display heavy tinted green glass, a pontil mark or flattened base, surface wear appropriate for age, and internally trapped air bubbles shaped into tiered flower patterns.

Display the object on a desk, bookshelf, or side table adjacent to a natural light source to emphasize the internal bubble details and rich green tone.

Clean gently with lukewarm water and a mild detergent using a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding abrasive pads, harsh chemicals, or sudden temperature variations that could cause thermal shock.
