Topic: Chip spatter (with uranium) on white ground

Hi Christine.  I think that this style of paperweight was made for a long period, starting in the late 19th century.  Given the popularity of uranium glass in late Victorian times through to the 1920s, my guess would be that this paperweight is pre-1940 - but that is only a guess.  As for whether it is worth restoring, my view is yes if it turns out to be an Ysart, otherwise maybe not.
