Note: This paperweight was a non-commercialized special model marked Rotterdam Lloyd Royal Dutch Mail. N. V. Rotterdamsche Lloyd was founded in 1883 thru the merger of 2 shipping companies. During the 20th century they had significant operations including to the Dutch East Indies, the Mediterranean, Java, China, Australia, India, South America, and the United States, as well as tramp steamer operations. In 1938 when this paperweight was commissioned, the company had approximately 5 mail ships and 27 freighters. With the Dutch shipping industry consolidation through mergers in 1970, the company ceased to exist as an independent entity. The original box that contained this model titled it Nandi. Nandi is the bull that serves as the mount of the Hindu god Shiva and it's also a symbol of fertility. The literature suggests this model was limited to 100 pieces. However so many have appeared over the last decade that we think the final number may have been larger. In addition to this commissioned paperweight, many Cactus Perfume Bottles (Model No. 519) also are marked for Rotterdam Lloyd.
