Extraordinary Victorian Cut Glass Hand Sculpture Paperweight - New Low Price

 

Queen Victoria commissioned souvenir sculptures of her children's limbs, arms, feet and hands and gifted them to Albert, starting a fad. This hand is worked out of glass. The plinth appears to be molded and cut black glass. This is quite an eye catcher as wherever any light hits the clear hand, it emits an eerie glow.  It is in exceptional condition with some natural faults inside the glass and some flea bites on the plinth. This displays beautifully. Very playful with lighting.  Quite rare. It would be fabulous in a Halloween display. See it in our eBay store here.
