A Rare, if not Unique, marble and Pietra Dura 19th Century Paperweight with British Naval connections, probably Italian in manufacture.

Also with the Latin motto "DUM SPIRO SPERO" - "While I breathe, I hope".
One edge is inscribed 'HMS Ocean' launched in Devonport in 1863 and in the Mediterranean in 1867 en route to the Far East.

Wear to the edges and a number of surface scratches as would be expected.
