Lids that outlive their matching vessels are too pretty to discard. Lids of many shapes, sizes and origins - from the cover of a porcelain tureen to the dome of an ironstone sugar bowl - they now have a new purpose.
The history of paperweights began in the mid-1840's. Their popularity was attributed to not only their decorative appeal but also to a growing Victorian leisure time interest in better writing.
