I think that the dump is closer to paperweight than to art glass, but that is just an opinion.  I don't think there is any fixed definition. As for selling dumps, the market is not as strong as it was, except for unusual ones. There are too many around.  I would suggest eBay, but it depends what you hope to get for it.

I would be more definite that Alan about the "art glass" or "paperweight" distinction - at least, in respect of "dumps". In all that I have read about "dumps" I see no reason to think that any were made as "art glass".

But I would also say that many paperweights are "art glass" items so it is not always valid to ask if things are "art glass" or "paperweights"!  :)

There are (still) two main views about the origins of "dumps" - a) that they were "end of day" ("frigger") items made by workers for families and friends and b) that many were actually an approved factory output!!

As for sale of these, I agree about the current general market.

Hi Kev.

I think that both (a) and (b) are correct.  I don't think that friggers would have the factory stamp on the base, which does occur with a limited number of Kilner and Redfearn pieces. I think the rare (and expensive...) Kilner weights with coloured centre flowers and a stamped base were production items, for example.

As were the Hartley and Wood later dump-style weights. Don't know if they were marked though

This dump is at the mid range of 'values' for dumps produced anytime from the 1840's onwards.

The most common will typically contain only bubble decorations
Next up are 'chalky' flower pot designs (not to be confused with sulphides)
Then 'foil' designs (as in your example)
Next up are the sulphide dumps - the more unusual the better
And finally labelled examples - Redfearn, Kilner Bros, or Kilner & Sons
