This 19th-century "Paperweight" by the Clichy Glasshouse features a delicate pansy crafted in colorful glass. The flower, rendered in shades of blue, yellow, and green, is encased in a clear glass sphere. This type of paperweight, known as a "cameo," is a popular example of 19th-century glassmaking, showcasing intricate detail and vibrant colors. It's currently housed at The Art Institute of Chicago.
