Product code: Vtg Heart Magnifying Paperweights/Photo retailer Frame Paperweight Clear Crystal Glass Desk Accessory “Vivant, England 3 Piece SET Vintage

This is a vintage (perhaps 1950s), 3 piece set of clear-crystal-glass, heart-shape, magnifying, photo-frame paperweights. One of the hearts still has the original, paper label on the back which says “Made in Vivant England”, another heart is exactly the same so probably from the same company and the 3rd heart is definitely different and probably made by another manufacturer. They are all similar in size measuring approximately 2.5 inches wide by 3.5 inches in height. The 2 matching paperweights measure .75 inches thick and the oddball one is thicker measuring at 1 inch. The Vivant hearts have a slighting-recessed, inside cavity where you would place a picture and the other has a much deeper interior. The 2 Vivant paperweights have a black-velvet, unattached backing and the oddball has no backing. These paperweights were typically used as photo-frame paperweights by cutting family photographs to fit the recessed area in the back then sealing them up. My observation while taking photos is that they really do not magnify that much. They are all in very, good condition with no chips or cracks and minimal scratching. They are being sold as a set only. Please be sure before purchasing as this item is NOT RETURNABLE retailer. (3/5/22)
