Here's another: http://www.glashistoriskselskab.dk/index.php/Glashistorisk-Museum/Boerneartikler/Hinkesten/Prinsessen-paa-aerten-1969-2195

They're not rare, but they're not overly common either. I suspect lots got broken.

I've only had a handful of them over the years. They usually get mis-sold as Höglund paperweights when they do appear on the market.

Hold the 'Alt' key and type 0246.

Here's a list of the various accented character codes: http://symbolcodes.tlt.psu.edu/accents/codealt.html

To access all available characters look for Character Map on your (Windows) computer, here you can copy characters, then you paste wherever you are entering text.
