This is a rare Victorian controlled bubble blue glass dump doorstop dating from the mid to late 19th century.
The dump is in good condition for its age. This means, of course, that it shows the age related wear and tear to the rim of the base commensurate with some 150 years of use.
The dump is in blue glass, which makes it rare, with a series of controlled bubbles emanating from the base embedded within it. It measures 19.5 cm (7.8 inches) in height. The base has a large, polished out pontil mark and the dump is 12 cm (4.8 inches) in diameter at its widest point. There is a single small burst bubble on the exterior of the dump and a 2 cm wide bruise to the rim of the foot. There are no other chips, cracks, significant scratches or any evidence of restoration.
It weighs an astonishing 4.36 kg. (~ 9 lb. 10 oz.).
