Piero Fornasetti Ceramic Zodiac Libra Pebble Paperweight.

Original Gold Box.

1960s.

This rare Piero Fornasetti Ceramic pebble paperweight in its original gold presentation box.  The paperweight is oval with gold decorations depicting a set of scales with the word Libra in the pans.  The base has a triangular-shaped raised form to allow the paperweight to be stable.  The center is a circular hole.

This is the first paperweight I have found with its box.
