Description

Offering up for auction is a vintage cobalt blue art crystal paperweight featuring a sulphide cameo of William Shakespeare. Multiple faceted “windows” are cut into the glass, allowing the finely detailed portrait to be viewed from several angles—highly desirable among collectors.

The piece was originally etched “William Shakespeare” on the reverse, though no additional maker’s marks are present. Examples of this style are often attributed to French makers such as Baccarat or Cristal d'Albret, and are sometimes associated with collector editions like those from The Franklin Mint.

Very good vintage condition with no issues noted.

Please review all photos carefully as they are part of the description. Feel free to reach out with any questions - And as always, happy bidding!
