Signed Steuben Latticino Optic Swirl George Thompson Glass Paperweight 3 1/2"x3"

Description

First let me say that this paperweight has some damage.
Signed Steuben Glass Paperweight with Latticino Swirl and Air Trap Teardrop Shape.  This is truly a stunning paperweight created by George Thompson in 1952 for Steuben Glass of Corning, N. Y.   The paperweight is signed with a Steuben script signature.  It measures approximately 3 1/2" high x approximately 3" wide.  I've listed it at this price because it does have some issues.  As you can see in pics #3 (right below the teardrop) & 7 it has a round interior crack (which almost looks like it's part of the design, but isn't).  It also has a few scratches, see pic #11  .  If you display the weight on one side, it's difficult to see the crack.   I, personally, was hard-pressed to find the scratches, but as you can see they are there and are seen more clearly in certain lighting.  Therefore, if you're a perfectionist, this isn't the item for you.  It is still lovely, however and I hope someone will purchase and enjoy it.  Photos were taken at my windowsill, with a dark background and also using a flash.  I don't accept returns, so please take into account the issues with this paperweight before purchase.
