Paperweight c. late 19th century

This small, clear glass paperweight, made by the New England Glass Company in the late 19th century, showcases a cluster of red and green glass fruits in a starburst design. The glass is layered with delicate, air bubbles, adding to its textured appearance. This paperweight, a popular form of decorative glass from the period, is an example of the company's skilled artistry and its ability to create intricate details in miniature. The piece is currently housed in The Art Institute of Chicago.
