10 1/4inch antique Bohemian paperweight obelisk or mantle ornament. Motif sometimes described as gnarly knots or devils fire. Lip sits 1 inch above the base. Lip is a tiny bit lopsided, but base is perfectly flat and obelisk is straight. Very good condition; no chips, nicks or scratches. Some typical very minor bubbles and a few miniscule pieces of cullet, consistent with that period of glass making and which are too small to photograph. Note: I took some closer up photos of portions of paperweight in order to show the multitude of colors and the design. Photographs are part of the description.
