Officially cataloged as model design #882, this piece features a rich, translucent ruby red body with a smooth, fire-polished clear glass stem tucked into the top indentation.What makes this particular paperweight highly collectible is its base: it features a hand-etched script signature reading 'Richard Blenko' alongside the production year '94'. This dates the piece specifically to 1994, a notable era when the distinguished artist Hank Murta Adams served as the design director for the company. It boasts exceptional color clarity and catches natural light beautifully, making it an excellent addition to a modernist studio glass collection or a vibrant pop of color for a desk or bookshelf."
