Paperweight c. 1848 - 1855

This "Paperweight" is a striking example of 19th-century glassmaking by Compagnie de Saint Louis. The blue, speckled glass base is adorned with a single red flower, creating a vibrant contrast. The intricate detail of the flower and its delicate stem showcase the skillful artistry of the glassblowers, while the overall spherical shape of the paperweight adds to its visual appeal. The paperweight is a testament to the enduring allure of glass as a medium for artistic expression.
