Vintage Clear Glass Paperweight, Red with White Flowers. Measures about 3" in height by 3" wide. Good condition. Has some light scratches.
Elevate your desk or home decor with this striking Vintage Clear Glass Paperweight. Measuring approximately 3" in height and 3" wide, this hand-blown art glass sphere features a rich, crimson red base from which multiple white flowers bloom. Each flower is carefully crafted with five delicate petals, creating a 360-degree floral landscape encased in a heavy, high-quality glass dome that acts as a natural magnifier for the intricate design within.
This piece showcases the "lampwork" or "flamework" technique, a skill where colored glass is sculpted into lifelike botanical forms before being submerged in molten clear glass. Small, glistening air bubbles are strategically placed among the petals to simulate dewdrops, a hallmark of mid-to-late 20th-century artisan glasswork. Whether used to secure documents or displayed as a standalone art piece, this paperweight adds a touch of classic sophistication to any setting. It is an excellent choice for glass collectors, a thoughtful office gift, or a unique Mother's Day present. Please note that while the piece is in good condition, it does show some light scratches consistent with its age and use as a functional desk accessory.
This item is vintage, over 30 years old, likely dating to the 1970s or 1980s. While I fully evaluate each piece and it appears to be in the good condition stated, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw, I would reach out prior to sending it.
