A finely made vintage lead‑crystal commemorative paperweight produced for the Silver Jubilee of H.M. King Hussein of Jordan in 1977, marking 25 years since his accession to the throne in 1952. The piece features a deep blue tint, a central engraved emblem with crown and wreath, and clear, crisp etched lettering in both English and Arabic. All six sides are optically concave, giving strong internal reflections and rainbow prisming under light. The weight, clarity and construction are fully consistent with mid‑century British crystal production. Although unmarked, similar Jubilee pieces have been attributed to Webb Corbett, and the concave optical panels, engraving style and 385g weight strongly align with their known commemorative output.
