A vibrant contemporary studio art glass paperweight of elegant teardrop form, expertly hand-blown with exceptional clarity and an intricate suspended composition. Encased within the polished crystal body are flowing multicolored ribbon canes in cobalt blue, emerald green, amethyst, amber, and pink, intertwined with precisely controlled air bubbles and shimmering iridescent inclusions that create remarkable depth and movement. The dynamic interior composition recalls the celebrated traditions of modern studio glass, where molten color and controlled optical effects are suspended within solid crystal to create an ever-changing display from every viewing angle. Brilliant flashes of gold and rainbow iridescence interact with the colorful ribbon elements, while the substantial weight and flawless polish emphasize the object's sculptural quality. Executed with considerable technical skill, the piece functions equally well as a decorative sculpture or desk accessory, exemplifying the creativity and craftsmanship associated with late twentieth- and early twenty-first-century studio glass. An attractive example for collectors of contemporary art glass and paperweights.

  • Literature: Comparable examples may be found in publications and exhibition catalogs documenting the American Studio Glass Movement and contemporary hand-blown art glass paperweights.
  • Circa: Late 20th to early 21st century.
  • Condition: Overall excellent vintage condition. Free from observed chips, cracks, or repairs. Light surface wear to the polished base consistent with careful display and age.
