Handmade American Frit Art Glass Paperweight - Friendship

Description:

Old glass paperweight with "Friendship" and two hearts in the glass. Handmade with satin polished bottom. Unsigned, maker unknown - looks to be from South Jersey. Measures 3 inches wide. This paperweight is in nice condition, but it does have a large crack as pictured. An inter-office debate at Black Market Antiques was unable to result in a consensus as to whether the fracture occurred during manufacture or later. If the paperweight was released from the factory in that condition, it is significantly under-priced. If it is a result of later damage, it is significantly over-priced. There are no other cracks or chips associated with later damage. Check pics for yourself...
