Whitefriars Glass OWL art glass paperweight figurine. Vintage 1960s/70s retro mid century. Flint/clear full lead crystal Modernist figurine

A solid glass abstract owl paperweight or figurine by Whitefriars Glass, England.

The design dates from the 1960s and was made all the way through to the 1970s - so circa 1960s or 1970s era. I believe he is full lead crystal (FLC) as he is very heavy. He's virtually perfect - they often have nibbles around the outsides of the eyes - but I think this little fellow spent his life in a cabinet out of reach. It's one of the best examples you will find. I'd give him a 9.5/10.

Excellent example with no obvious chips, bruises, or scratches on the uppers. A couple of teeny tiny marks on very close inspection. Flat polished base with a couple of signs of age. Bright clear crystal content glass. A few internal bubbles and manufacturing ripples in the glass from at the time - see pics. About 8cm wide x 10cm tall. Weighs a hefty 1.15kg.
