Paperweight c. 19th century

This 19th-century glass paperweight, created by the Saint Louis Glass Works, is a fine example of the intricate detail and artistry of Victorian glassmaking. The paperweight features a central motif of white flowers with green leaves, all encased within a multi-faceted, clear glass sphere with blue and white swirl designs. The paperweight is a testament to the beauty and craftsmanship of the American glassblowing tradition and is a delightful example of Victorian decorative arts.
