Description
This is an exquisite Waterford Crystal paperweight, released as a limited edition commemorative piece for the Times Square 2000 millennium celebration. Crafted from high-quality, heavy lead crystal, this globe-shaped piece features the intricate "Star of Hope" cutting—the same pattern used on the 504 crystal triangles that adorned the iconic New York City New Year's Eve Ball at the turn of the millennium.
The paperweight showcases brilliant craftsmanship with deep, geometric wedge cuts that create a dazzling prismatic effect when it catches the light. The top is etched with the official "Times Square 2000" logo, and the side bears the authentic Waterford acid-etched hallmark (the seahorse logo) for guaranteed provenance. Whether used as a functional desk accessory or displayed as a piece of history, this paperweight is a timeless reminder of a global milestone.
