Flower Glass Sphere Paperweight - Clear & Blue

This glass paperweight holds a single blue flower inside a clear sphere, its layered petals opening out from a slender stem as if caught mid-bloom. The petals are a bright, deep blue streaked with white, so each one catches the light a little differently, and the clear glass around them lets you see the flower from every side. It measures 8cm high, 8cm across and 7cm deep, a size that sits comfortably in the hand and takes up very little room on a desk.

Its first job is a practical one: set on a desk or a study table, it keeps letters, notes and loose papers from drifting off when a door opens or a fan is running. It is just as happy simply sitting on a bookshelf, a dresser or a bedside table, where the light in the room passes through the clear glass and brings out the blue of the petals. Clear and blue sit easily alongside most colour schemes, from crisp white home offices to cooler grey and navy rooms, and the small round shape suits a busy shelf as well as a bare one. It also makes a thoughtful little gift, easy to wrap and pleasing to unwrap.

The flower is set wholly inside the glass, so the petals stay sealed away from dust and fingers, and the sphere rests on a slightly flattened base that keeps it from rolling. To keep it bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it straight away so no water marks are left behind. For a simple desk arrangement, pair it with a plain notebook and a pen pot in a matching blue, or set it on a stack of favourite books where the flower can be seen from across the room.
