The paperweight is in glass and ceramic and is in a faceted polyhedron shape. The ceramic center shows the intertwined initials of the company on its top face and other words and a lion symbol on its sides.

VINTAGE: Circa 1912.

SIZE: Approximately 2-1/8" in height and 3" in width (from point to point).
