Featured Glass Lion Ornaments? Lids?

hifolks

something else i picked up at the last boot

thought they were lids to jars at first but unsure

not in the greatest nick (few nibbles, fractures)

but charming and guessing 19th?

any info appreciated

 

Try John Derbyshire pressed glass Landseer lions. Paperweights, apparently.
Nice!

 

From Trafalgar Square.

Those of colored glass seem to be more desirable.

thanks for the info peeps, looks like there are reproductions as well, but these seem legit to me

will check out the ebay item (if i can work out how)

 

always usually the case, especially with this kind of thing

 

True. Thank you for pointing that out.

They do not have the English registry mark and the seams don't look as fire polished which would lead me to believe they might be reproductions. Still desirable and vintage!

 

yeah possible, the ebay linked one (with all the colour one links) are all from the same seller, which made me question them being right)

these seem to have been out in the wild for a period (can just tell from pieces found mudlarking etc)
