COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION Chicago Worlds Fair EAPG Milk Glass Paperweight by LIBBEY

Description: Shipping | POLICIES AND INFORMATION COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION Chicago Worlds Fair EAPG Milk Glass Paperweight by LIBBEY One of two similar paperweights I am listing tonight. NOT A REPRODUCTION. This auction is for a very rare and original, 1893 Columbian Exposition / Chicago World's Fair, Milk Glass Backed Souvenir Paperweight featuring a view of the INDIANA STATE Building at the Fair. Text around the image reads: "Indiana State Building / Columbian Exposition, 1893." The paperweight is made of clear glass, with a thick wafer of white milk glass on the reverse. The view of the Fair is printed on the upper surface of the milk glass wafer and is viewed through the thick, clear glass of the paperweight. This paperweight was made in the Libbey Glass Company Kiln that was constructed on the grounds of the Columbian Exposition. During the 1893 Worlds Fair Libbey exhibited a massive demonstration plant that contained its own building and brick kiln. Various glass items were manufactured in this plant as a demonstration of the Libbey Glass Works and many were sold as souvenirs to visitors. The paperweight measures approx. 4" by 2 1/2" by 7/8" and carries a slug that reads "MADE AT WORLD'S FAIR BY LIBBEY GLASS CO. PATENTED." Displays beautifully, with no chips, nicks, cracks, hairlines, or repairs. Glass is crystal clear, with no cloudiness or haze. Very minor surface scuffs, as expected. Guaranteed to be antique circa-1893, and not a reproduction.
