A beautiful and substantial piece of art glass, this vintage paperweight is a stunning example of the luxurious Avventurina technique, perfected by Murano glassmakers. At more than 3 1/2 inches in diameter, it is slightly larger and more commanding than many of its peers, making it an excellent statement piece.
The paperweight is like a little jewel, encapsulating a brilliant field of gold leaf and shimmering gold avventurina (glass embedded with metallic particles).
Visual Interest: The complex gold flecking creates a deep, luminous effect. A subtle bubble at the center adds a touch of whimsy and acts as a focal point, literally and figuratively complementing the rich gold foil.
Aesthetic: This piece is a perfect accent for Hollywood Regency or Mid-Century Modern desks, consoles, or bookshelves, adding a touch of golden luxury and high-end texture.
It is ready to bring a sense of artful elegance and weight to your home or office.
