Imperial Glass Company ----- Item: #51957JA Hu Paper Weight (Tiger Figure) - Made from the Heisey Tiger Mold ----- Color: Imperial Jade ----- Circa: 1982 - 83 ----- Mark: Embossed with the IGA Imperial Logo from the period when Arthur Lorch owned Imperial (Very Faint) ------------ Condition: This lovely Jade Hu Paper weight was made by the Imperial Glass Company. Most dealers are selling him as a panther. However he was made from the Heisey tiger mold. Imperial called him an Hu paper weight. Hu means tiger in Chinese, so we are assuming the company knew he was tiger. This graceful tiger paper weight is in Undamaged Condition without chips, cracks. Stunning Color!!!! This beautiful large cat figure was produced by the Imperial Glass Company from 1982 /1983.
