Pre-1970 Door Stop
These large Door Stops first appeared in the 1969 catalogue. A dark-blue ribbon spirals around a large bubble - with a silvery sheen -set in the centre. The rest of the ball is full of small, controlled bubbles. As it’s made of full lead crystal, it’s incredibly heavy. It has a couple of surface scratches, but then if it was used as a door stopper that’s not really surprising!
According to the “Whitefriars Paperweights Collector’s Guide” by Brian Slingsby and Judy Taylor not many were made.
