🟠 A captivating study in glass artistry, this vintage 1970s paperweight features a vivid orange flower suspended within crystal-clear glass, accented by controlled bubbles and fine frit detailing. The domed form catches the light beautifully, giving depth and dimension to the floating floral motif. Ideal as a mid-century desk accent, bookshelf display, or thoughtful gift for a glass-art enthusiast.
⌛History Behind The Piece⌛
Emerging from the 1970s studio glass movement, pieces like this reflected a fascination with transparency and internal design. Rather than using millefiori canes, artisans often employed frit (crushed coloured glass) and air-trap techniques to create sculptural inclusions. The result was a generation of one-of-a-kind paperweights that blurred the line between fine art and functional décor.
Paperweight is in good vintage/used condition. Please see all of the photos. 🟠
