Attributed to a Belgian glassworks, this mantle ornament has a conically-shaped top to the footed shaft, which serves as a holder for a paperweight. In this case, the paperweight - which has 2 layers of white, ruby & green frit pierced by a central and 4 peripheral bubbles - has been bonded to the foot to hold it in place. An attractive feature is the frit and bubble decoration in the knop of the stem. Well finished, polished, concave base.
