    Description

    For sale is a vintage Steuben art glass paperweight Seal figure that I believe was designed by Taf Lebel Schaefer.  The piece is signed and hand made and is in near mint condition.  By that I mean I inspected with a magnifying glass and can find no flaws.  I believe that he is very rare.  You will find other seals with balls on their noses.  This guy is holding his head straight up and centered with his body but his tail has a slight twist to his left.  It measures 5 X 5 X 5".
    CORRECTION:  COMES WITH AN ORIGINAL STEUBEN BOX, BAG AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS.  BUT MIGHT NOT BE THE ONE ORIGINAL TO THE PURCHASE.  THE FAMILY ROTATED DISPLAYED VS STORED OVER DECADES AND MIGHT HAVE ACCIDENTALLY SWITCHED BOXES.  (Thank you to the Steuben seller that contacted me).
    .  I am selling for an heir of the estate of the original owners who were a prominent Nashville family.  Anyone who buys a piece and requests can receive information about the family.  Also, I am selling about 20 pieces of Steuben glass from the same estate so would give a discount to buyers of multiple pieces.
