ANTIQUE GERMAN PAPERWEIGHT WITH PICTURE OF STUDENT IN UNIVERSITY FRATERNITY UNIFORM Antique German Paperweight with Picture of Student in Fraternity Uniform . circa 1870-1915. This is an antique paperweight with a photograph or painting of a young man in a military type uniform. The image is on a white enamel plaque and is either a painting or a hand colored photograph. The enamel plaque is placed in the center of a spatter or frit ground. An interesting and rare type of paperweight. The paperweight was most likely made in Germany or Silesia. A great addition to any collection of antique European paperweights. Note : There is a fracture surrounding the image that is caused by incompatibilities between the plaque and the surrounding glass. This type of fracture is, unfortunately, fairly common in plaque weights of that period. Reduced price : Originally $395, I have reduced the price considerably. After considerable research, I have concluded that the uniform is probably one used by a German or Austrian university student fraternity or student association. Members of these student associations surrounded themselves with the symbols of their fraternities. The uniforms are quite commonly depicted on German steins and other "studentica" of the period. Size: 2 1/2” diameter by 1 3/4” high. The bottom is fire finished with remnants of the pontil mark. Signature: This paperweight is not signed, but I guarantee it to be an antique paperweight originating in Germany or one of the nearby countries. Condition: Excellent condition. I could not find any significant damage on this paperweight. However, as noted above, there is a incompatibility fracture surrounding the center plaque. Allan's Paperweights is owned by Allan Port.
