Floral Gold Fleck Glass Ornament Paperweight - Pink & Clear

This round glass paperweight holds a pink bloom inside clear glass, its ruffled pink and white petals gathered at the base and fine pink tendrils arching up around a single large bubble at the centre. Flecks of gold drift through the clear glass between the petals, and small air bubbles are scattered around, catching the light as you turn it in your hand. It measures 8.1cm high, 7.9cm across and 8cm deep, a neat size for the corner of a desk or a small shelf. The pink and clear colouring keeps it bright and cheerful without overpowering a room.

As a paperweight it does a real job, keeping letters, notes and loose papers in place on a desk, a writing bureau or a hall table. It is just as happy as an ornament, set on a bookshelf between rows of spines, on a mantelpiece or on a bedside or dressing table, ideally near a lamp where the light can pass through the clear glass and pick out the gold. Because it is round, it looks good from every side, so it suits a spot that is seen from across the room. It makes a pretty gift for anyone who enjoys colourful glass in the home.

The pink bloom, the bubbles and the gold flecks all sit inside the glass, so the outside is a smooth, rounded surface that is easy to keep clean. To keep it sparkling, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it afterwards to avoid water marks. As with any glass piece, set it down gently and keep it away from the edge of a hard surface where a knock could chip it. For a simple touch, place it on a stack of books beside a reading lamp, or pair it with a vase of pink flowers so the colour carries across the table.
