Set of Three Orange Flower Glass Paperweights with Bubble Detail

These orange flower paperweights have real fire to them, and grouped as a graduated three they make a warm little display. Inside each clear dome sits a flower worked in orange and red with a green stem, set above a scatter of silvery controlled bubbles that give the glass depth and sparkle. Controlled bubble weights like these were a popular decorative style, the air traps placed on purpose to catch and throw the light. They have the pleasing heft and smooth, cool surface that makes a paperweight so good to hold, and the bright colour lifts them against the clear glass around it.

The set steps down neatly in size, the largest at 6 x 6 cm, the middle at 5.5 x 6 cm and the smallest at 4.5 x 4 cm. A coordinated group is more appealing than a single, and being graduated they gather into a small arrangement wherever you put them, on a desk, a shelf or a sunny windowsill where the light can pick out the colour.

All three are in good order, clear and bright, with the internal bubbles and small variations that come with handmade glass, all pictured closely so you can see them for yourself.

Group them on a stack of books, run them along a windowsill, or place them singly around a room so the orange catches the eye against wood and pale walls. The warm colour works beautifully with rust, teal or deep blue, and they hold papers in place as readily as they sit on a shelf purely for their looks. Bright, tactile and easy to love, they make a cheerful gift for a glass collector or anyone who likes a bit of colour on a desk.
