A lovely 1950s-1960s 3" art glass paperweight by Whitefriars Glass, England.
Handmade/mouth blown glass in Twilight - a yellowy brown, (also quite similar to a Willow colouring too). Design no 9308 (which dates from the early 1950s and was made all the way through to the 1970s) and this version is probably 1950s to 1960s. It is the smaller sized 3" version. It features a series of carefully controlled internal bubbles (smaller near the top, getting bigger towards the base), and one larger middle internal bubble. It's very hard to show in photos. It's quite a dark version of the colourway.
Excellent example with no obvious flaws. Some ripple lines on the surface from production. Typical Whitefriars base. No conjoined bubbles. The central bubble is central. All as it should be and nicely made.
3" version - about 7.5cm wide x 6.5cm tall. Weighs roughly 550g.
It's been really well looked after for 60-odd years!
