Paperweight c. 19th century

This 19th-century glass paperweight, created by the Clichy Glasshouse, is a beautiful example of the "Millefiori" technique, which involves arranging colorful rods of glass together and fusing them to create intricate patterns. The paperweight features a pink base with an elaborate design of white and green flowers, creating a visually stunning and delicate piece. The paperweight is currently held at The Art Institute of Chicago.
