A Victorian green glass paperweight, often referred to as a dump, likely produced at the Castleford glassworks in Yorkshire. The object is of elongated, torpedo-like form and is crafted from transparent green bottle glass. It features an internal controlled bubble decoration consisting of multiple teardrop-shaped bubbles arranged in a dense, radiating pattern. The base exhibits a prominent, rough, unground pontil mark, which is characteristic of the traditional manufacturing process for this type of glass.
