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...
