Fresh from a local estate,
here’s a Whitefriars millefiori paperweight. It has a date cane from 1978. I’ve been told that this paperweight was
issued in a limited edition of 1000 for Christmas of 1978 and that it
represents Mary on a donkey being led by Joseph. It’s supposed to be 4th in a
series of Whitefriars Christmas weights.
It’s engraved on the base with the number 37 which must mean that it’s #
37 of the 1000 issued. It is in the
original box but doesn’t have any paperwork with it. It’s approximately 3” diameter by 1.8” tall.
Condition is excellent. No chips, cracks or scratches on the top
portion of the weight. The bottom has
some very minor shelf wear. There’s a
tiny open bubble in the center of the ground base right next to the engraved
number. It looks like they ground into a
tiny bubble when they ground and polished the pontil. Please see pictures for details.
