Description
This round glass paperweight holds a single orange flower suspended in clear glass, its layered petals opening wide above a slender stem and a spray of green leaves. At the heart of the bloom sits a fine cluster of golden strands, and tiny air bubbles scattered through the glass catch the light as you turn it. It stands 8cm tall, 8cm across and 7cm deep, small enough to sit neatly on a desk. The glass is clear all round, so the flower shows well whether you look down into it or straight through it at eye level.
On a desk it does the job it was made for, keeping letters, notes and loose sheets in place beside an open window or under a desk fan. Off duty, it sits just as happily on a shelf, a bookcase or a bedside table, where the warm orange brings a bright note to a neutral corner. Because it needs no wall, no stand and no batteries, it can move from the study to the living room whenever you fancy a change. It also makes an easy gift, one that keeps its colour long after a bunch of cut flowers has faded.
The flower and leaves are set within the glass itself, so there is nothing to wind, fill or switch on, and the smooth, rounded surface has no corners to catch. Care is simple: dust it with a soft dry cloth, and when it needs more, wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it straight away to keep the glass bright. We like it beside a short stack of books or a small potted plant, where its green leaves pick up the foliage, and as a gift it needs nothing more than a sheet of tissue paper.
