STAG SOUVENIR REVERSED-ETCHED PAPERWEIGHT # 9503 M842

This line was distinct from the main faceted crystal figurine lines focusing instead of geographical memorabilia and corporate / tourism gifts

Production era is the late 1980's to the mid 1988.

This paperweight utilizes a reversed carving technique, and the design is etched into the flat back surface of a thick block of lead crystal, leaving a frosted, hollowed-out image of the STAG DEER IN NATURE  that appear three dimensional when viewed from the front.

The crystal block features a raw, irregularly faceted and jagged border to mimic a natural slice of Alphine rock or glacial ice.

Daniel Swarovski founded the company Wattens in1899.
