Offering a vintage clear pressed-glass horse head commonly used as a book end or paperweight.
Manufactured by the Federal Glass Company
Circa 1930s to 1950s -frequently attributed to the 1940s Art Deco/Mid-Century era
The glass figurine is sculpted with a strong, arched neck, distinct wavy or cascading mane curls, and a hollow interior. It sits on a thick, solid rectangular platform with raised edges. In excellent condition. Any imperfections are inherent to glass production.
Original Purpose: Interestingly, these popular horse heads were originally manufactured and sold as candy containers sealed with a cardboard bottom. Once the candy was consumed, they became popular household bookends and paperweights due to their heavy weight.
