Vintage 1980s Hard to Find Stunning Swarovski Trimlite Rainbow Crystal and Gold Plated King Cobra Snake Paperweight

Cool, yet stunning! A hard for find early 1980s Swarovski Trimlite Rainbow Crystal and Gold Plated King Cobra Snake Paperweight was produced as part of the Trimlite Giftware Line. Swarovski produced crystal figurines for the Trimlite line during most of the 1980's. Swarovski Trimlite crystal figurines generally had 1-2 crystal components with 1-2 molded metal parts, that were gold or silver in colour. Approximately 200 different figurines were produced. A few of the more popular groups include: - Circus Clowns & Marching Band - Clearly Kids Stuff - Crystal Animation - Crystal Champions - Crystal Express - Frosty Friends - The Gnome Family - Tree Trimmers - Wings N Things - Zoo Animals The King Cobra Gold Plated Paperweight Snake holding a stunning Rainbow Crystal is a Rare find. The ones that are new in the box they sell for well over $1000. This particular one is part of my mother's collection and does not have the box. This item was on display in a case and was very loving dusted and used. It is in great condition and has beautiful color that changes with every angle. I tried to capture how the crystal changes with the light and in different settings. Nearly all the Trimlite crystal figurines were introduces in the early 80's and retired by the late 80's. Swarovski Trimlite collectibles are now so difficult to find in good condition, they are considered an investment. The Cobra Snake was not in production long and such are highly sought after by collectors. Swarovski did not have any type of Swarovski certificate with its products, so there is no accompanying certificate of authentic with the Trimlite figurines. and unfortunately many were unmarked. Details: Swarovski rainbow crystal surrounded by a gold plated pewter King Cobra. It is from my mother's estate and we could not find the original box. Note:**The photos do not do this piece justice, the rainbow color changing on the piece is amazing. ------------------------------------- Measurements: Width: 2.25” Height: 2.75" Depth: 1.5” Brand/maker: Swarovski Materials: Swarovski rainbow crystal surrounded by a gold toned pewter king cobra.
