Material
High-quality French lead crystal (frosted and clear finishes).
Condition
Fair to Poor. The image shows a significant structural crack running through the crystal body, which severely diminishes value.

$150.00 - $225.00 (Current MSRP for new Lalique Anemone paperweights).
Comparable Sales

Key Features
Renowned French luxury brand; iconic Anemone design; original etched signature; highly collectible glass maker.
Authenticity Indicators
The etched 'Lalique France' script on the bottom is consistent with authentic post-war Lalique markings. High confidence in authenticity based on etching style.
Flaws to Note

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (Auction) or Mercari. Best sold to a crafter or someone looking for a 'filler' piece who cannot afford mint condition Lalique.
Selling Tips
Be extremely transparent about the crack in the title and photos to avoid returns. Keywords: 'AS IS', 'Damage', 'Lalique France', 'Anemone Paperweight'. Use a macro lens to show the signature clearly.
