Item Description
A paperweight is a solid glass sphere with a flattened base, originally made to hold down papers. They may have an internal colored decoration, or an incrusted gold, silver or ceramic figure, the best of these being works of art.
Blown glass paperweights began being produced around 1845 in France. But it wasn't until the middle of the 20th century that they started to become more popular in the United States. The Lampwork style means it has flowers, animals, fruits, insects, and other objects made from glass pieces inside the paperweight.
