Antique Cast Figurine Scottie Dog By Jennings Brothers Silver Plate Paperweight #2


 


This vintage cast figurine of a Scottish Terrier is a true collectible item. Crafted by Jennings Brothers in the United States, this metal figurine showcases the beloved breed in all its glory. Its intricate details and elegant silver plate finish make it a perfect addition to any dog lover's collection. This figurine is a paperweight, so it's both functional and decorative.

There is a hole on one of his rear paws. It is not seen unless you turn it over. It may be a manufacturing flaw as I can't figure out how this happened through wear or accident.

Last one.


See it in our eBay store here.

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.

Extraordinary Victorian Carved Crystal Hand Sculpture 1800s Paperweight


 




Queen Victoria commissioned souvenir sculptures of her children's limbs, arms, feet and hands and gifted them to Albert, starting a fad.

I believe this hand is carved out of crystal. 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 almost appears to be frosted glass but it is not. 
It could be a mourning piece as the base is black.
It is in exceptional condition with some natural faults inside the crystal and some flea bites and flaws inherent to it's artisan nature.
This displays beautifully. Very playful with lighting. 
Quite rare.
Please see all the photos and the video to be sure all is to your liking.
Sold as you see it.

Lead Metal Duckling Figurine Solid Lead Duck Vintage Figure





This adorable duckling figure is made of solid lead. Measuring 4 1/4“ x 2 1/4“ x 2“ this hefty little fella weighs almost a pound and a half. At this size he would make a fine paperweight, although I’m not sure if that was the original purpose.
In very good condition, he’s quite artistically rendered. The little duckling looks so much like it just took a drink of water or maybe a tasty grain.
