This is a fine vintage lead crystal Hanukkah dreidel (sevivon) complete with its original matching square-cut clear crystal pedestal stand. The dreidel is expertly cut from heavy, optical-grade clear glass with a multi-faceted geometric body and an elongated hexagonal faceted stem. Each of the four major upper facets features a frosted/sandblasted acid-etched Hebrew letter: Nun (נ), Gimel (ג), Hei (ה), and Shin (ש), representing the tradition "Nes Gadol Haya Sham" ("A great miracle happened there").

The piece sits inverted in a heavy, solid clear crystal block stand with a hollowed center reservoir designed for desktop or vitrine display. The heavy lead glass composition provides high refractive brilliance, dispersing natural light into vivid spectral rainbow prisms.

Origin: Contemporary / Vintage Import (Unmarked, attributed to European or American Judaica distributors such as Copa Judaica, Godinger, or Jonal Crystal).

Age: Circa 1990s – Early 2000s.

Material: Cut Clear Optical / Lead Crystal Glass.

Condition: Good vintage display condition. The crystal exhibits bright clarity and light refraction. As noted, there are minor surface scuffs, light scratching along the lower faceted points, and light edge wear consistent with contact with the stand during display. No major structural chips, cracks, or repairs.

Dimensions & Weight

• Total Height (On Stand): 3.5 inches

• Max Width (Dreidel): 2.0 inches

• Weight: 5.2 oz (approx. 147 g)

Authenticity Assessment

Close optical examination confirms this piece is not manufactured by Swarovski Crystal. Genuine Swarovski figurines from the 1980s onward invariably carry acid-etched logo hallmarks—either the block "S.C.O." logo, the trillium / block logo, or the widely recognized Swan logo. This piece lacks any acid mark or logo.

However, the precision of the multi-faceted geometric cuts, the clean beveling along the central ridge, and the crisp, sandblasted frosted finish on the Hebrew lettering confirm high-quality lead crystal production rather than molded press glass. It exhibits the weight, density, and refractive rainbow dispersion characteristic of 24% lead crystal Judaica produced for specialty gift houses during the late 20th century.
