Description from the seller

This heavy crystal paperweight from the famous Val Saint Lambert glassworks (Belgium) is a beautiful desk accessory dating from the mid-20th century. It features stunning emerald green cased crystal, meticulously hand-cut with wide oval windows that reveal an intricate geometric pattern of deep stars and diamond cuts underneath. Despite its compact size, measuring 6 cm in height and 8 cm in length, it has a substantial and heavy feel, weighing 950 g due to the high lead content of the crystal. It is unsigned, which was standard for these desk pieces, but its exceptional cutting quality and brilliant light reflection guarantee its authenticity. The item is in excellent overall condition, with perfectly sharp edges and a clear, lustrous finish. A fantastic curiosity piece that will look outstanding in a display cabinet or on a modern desk. The item will be shipped in a professional packaging.
