Vintage Hippopotamus Glass Paperweight

This Vintage Hippopotamus Glass Paperweight is in excellent condition and crafted by Villeroy & Boch, a renowned German ceramics manufacturer established in 1748. The piece features a hand-blown green-tinted glass rhino figurine, designed with a hollow section intended as a candle holder. Comparable to creations by Ngwenya Glass in Swaziland, which uses recycled glass and supports wildlife conservation through the Ngwenya Rhino & Elephant Fund, this collectible combines artistry with a nod to environmental awareness.
