Paperweight c. 19th century

This 19th century glass paperweight, crafted by the Clichy Glass Works, features a delicate design of white daisies with green leaves painted onto the clear glass. The piece is intricately cut with a radiating pattern, creating a shimmering effect. Paperweights like this were popular in the Victorian era, used to hold down documents and add a decorative touch to desks. The piece is currently housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
