Antique South Jersey, Millville, Glass Mushroom/Umbrella, Colored Frit & Aventurine Paperweight - Circa 1890 to 1910
Beautiful antique South Jersey Millville glass mushroom paperweight.
Circa 1890 to 1910 and measures 3 3/4" high x 3 1/4" in diameter.
This paperweight features a 3-dimensional ribbed, white umbrella/mushroom, speckled with multi-colored frit and aventurine on a clear ground. There is a small air bubble above the indented center of the umbrella/mushroom. The top is in a spherical form with an applied circular base, which has a rough pontil mark.
It is a beautiful piece with few scattered surface nicks. The large interior has a grayish potstone, as made. A beautiful site to see in person and is much more stunning in person!
This piece would look gorgeous in any setting. Would be a great addition for any South Jersey glass or paperweight collector.
