Strömbergshyttan Blue Glass Globe Paperweight, Engraved Inuit Herder Lassoing a Reindeer

This beautiful vintage globe depicts an Inuit herder lassoing a reindeer. It is 3.5" high and weighs 2 pounds, 2 ounces. It is a perfect size for display on a desk or shelf. It is in excellent condition, clear and sparkling. I have never seen another one like it.
(Note: in some photos you can see the sticky residue from the Strömbergshyttan label. Since the piece is well signed, I decided to clean that off. As a collector, I would only save evidence of a label if it's the only identifier.)

The story of Strömbergshyttan begins in 1876, when a glassworks called Lindfors ("winding falls") opened about 50 km west of Orrefors. In 1933, Edward Strömberg, who was a former head at Orrefors, and his wife Gerda, who was a designer at Eda, leased the company and changed the name to Strömbergshyttan ("Strömberg's hut"). Edward and his son Eric devised a way to produce a glass that had a bluish-silver hue, which became characteristic for Strömbergshyttan. Eric Strömberg and his wife, Asta, bought the company in 1945, and they invested heavily to modernize it. The Strömberg family further upgraded the mill in 1960. For most of the 40+ years that the family controlled the glass mill, Gerda and Asta Strömberg designed the glass. A fire in 1973 left the glassworks in financial difficulties, and it was sold to Orrefors in 1976. Orrefors closed the Strömbergshyttan glassworks just three years later. (Adapted from Nils Bergqvist)
