Description :

Beautiful pair of hand-blown art glass paperweights featuring underwater and botanical themes. One larger orb showcases a vibrant tropical reef scene with colorful fish, coral, bubbles, and ocean-blue glasswork. The smaller orb features a delicate aquatic plant surrounded by white gravel and tiny red fish accents.

These decorative glass spheres make striking display pieces for desks, shelves, curio cabinets, or coastal-themed décor. Their intricate internal designs and heavy solid-glass construction are characteristic of Murano-style art glass paperweights.

Measurements:

  • Large Paperweight: Approx. 4" Diameter
  • Small Paperweight: Approx. 3" Diameter

Condition:
Good vintage condition. The larger paperweight has two noticeable chips near the side as shown in the photos. Light surface wear from age and handling. No other major damage observed.

Historical Note:
Murano-style art glass paperweights gained popularity during the mid-to-late 20th century. Inspired by the renowned glassmaking traditions of Murano, Italy, artisans created intricate underwater scenes, floral motifs, and aquatic displays suspended within clear crystal glass, making each piece a unique decorative work of art.

Estimated Value:
175 - 300
