Description

Rare very large and heavy round lead crystal art glass raw crystallized garnet seed paperweight. I believe that it may be Czech Bohemian and possibly the work of Nizbor A Ruckl and Sons. It has dual layers encased within the massive glass dome. There is a large condensed controlled bubble formation in the center. The second layer consists of a large number of random placed crystalized garnet seeds in various colors of gold and brown. They have a beautiful luster that is enhanced with light. It is very heavy, weighs an amazing 7.8 pounds. Approximate measurements: 5" tall, 5.5" at its widest point. There is evidence of superficial scratches (particularly on one side, please see last photo} and some minor nicks, consistent with age and use. Overall, it is in very good vintage condition. Very rare...
