This is a classic example of a lead crystal paperweight designed by Frank Thrower in 1977 for Dartington Glass.
The paperweight is of thick, cylindrical form and is impressed on the underside with a central stylised lion motif and the words ‘LEO 23 JUL 23 AUG’.
It is unmarked.
The primitive images in this series of twelve paperweights were inspired by pre-Renaissance horoscopic art.
It has a height of approximately 3.1cm and a diameter of 7.5cm.
It has an unwrapped weight of 380g.
It is in good condition, with no chips or cracks, although there are a few wear and tear scratches to the top commensurate with age.
