Antique C 1870 CANED ETCHED FACETED MILLEFIORI PAPERWEIGHT RUNNING RABBIT
Condition is Used with minor SLIGHT expected flea bites. At the base is a small internal bruise, with some gold flecking only noticeable when holding the paperweight upside down. This shallow bruise is contained at the base and the exterior is completely smooth. What is remarkable is that this encased paperweight has oval bevels covering the sides as well as cut glass etching off the center circle. The shades of blue are lovely with much detailing and the caning is lyrical and crosses over itself making a distinctive pattern.
1.50 inches and the weight is approximately 10 ounces. Again, This is not my area of expertise so I welcome any comments or questions.
