About the Item

A stunning and rare Black Bear figurine sitting on platform. This was designed in 1935 by Etienne Frankhauser for J A Jobling -In the late 1920s and 1930 the famous English Glass house of J A Jobling tried their hand at copying the Rene Lalique style of glass making and employed Frankhauser (Rene Lalique's Mould maker) to design a number of pieces for them, the rarest and most impressive of which were a series of medium small animal paperweights usually in clear and 'opalique' This example is exceptionally rare being in black -the only example of a black Jobling paperweight we have ever seen. The design was registered in the UK Reg No 799634 in 1935 (the registration mark is visible in the last picture and it was probably only made briefly as the image was later licenced to Fox's Glacier Mints. The last picture shows the Bear with other Jobling Paperweights -also available separately in our other 1stdibs listings
