Beveled Lucite or Acrylic Frosted Paperweight
A trapezoidal-shaped clear block crafted from a synthetic resin material, likely acrylic or lucite. The object features a flat, polished front and back with angular beveled edges on the sides that narrow toward the base. The rear surface appears to have a frosted or etched finish, creating an internal depth where a faint, possibly floral, design is visible through the clarity of the material. Physically, it measures approximately 3 to 4 inches in width. The construction is solid and heavy, characteristic of mid-20th-century desk accessories. Notable condition issues include a prominent dark blue or black ink-like smudge or scuff mark near the center of the front face, along with various surface scratches consistent with age and use. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures in the current view, but its style suggests a late 1960s to 1980s production period. Small imperfections on the top edge indicate minor chipping or wear, while the craftsmanship shows clean, crisp edges typical of machine-cut industrial plastics.
