Mid-Century Glass Sea Lion Paperweight by Folke Walving, Sweden, 1960's
About the Item
A modernist-style sea lion paperweight, crafted in the 1960s by Swedish glassmaker Folke Walving.
Made from clear, sparkling lead crystal, the sculptural paperweight features a simple, curved body with subtle, impressed facial details and is crowned by a crystal ball delicately balanced on the sea lion’s nose.
A wonderful example of mid-century modern Swedish style, this glass piece reflects the simplicity and craftsmanship of vintage Scandinavian glass art
Hand-etched with Walving’s signature and a serial number on the finely polished base, it stands 14 cm tall, with a depth of 8.5 cm and a width of 3.5 cm.
This collectible glass paperweight lends itself to display as an objet d’art or can be used as intended, as a functional paperweight.
Minor age-related wear is present on the sphere and body, but overall, it remains in very good condition considering its age and use
