Andrew Cox Antiques has dated this Victorian Glass Dump Paperweight to the 1860s.
This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.
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.
