About the Item

Mid-Century Handblown Glass Paperweight - Sculptural Solid Glass Object - 1960s Sculptural solid glass paperweight featuring a free-form shape and delicate air bubbles suspended throughout the clear glass mass. Can equally be used as a decorative object or desk accessory. This piece is likely a glass slag or furnace glass fragment, a byproduct of industrial glassmaking where molten glass solidifies into dense sculptural masses. Such pieces are often appreciated for their natural, spontaneous forms and the unique patterns created by the cooling process. Subtle internal swirls and a faint pale green tint typical of hand-blown glass, creating beautiful light refractions and prism effects when illuminated. Perfect as a paperweight, desk object, or small minimalist sculpture. Dimensions : 11cm height x 13cm width x 13cm depth

Resin and Brass Inclusion Paperweight, Geometric Space Age Design, France 1970s Rare and elegant French decorative paperweight from the 1970s, crafted in transparent faceted resin with a subtle amber-yellow tint. The piece features multiple suspended brass nuts embedded within the resin, creating a fascinating "inclusion" effect that recalls the experimental design aesthetics of the Space Age era. The paperweight is formed as a geometric polyhedron, whose angled surfaces multiply reflections and visually fragment the metallic inclusions, producing an engaging optical effect from every viewpoint.
