Description
This glass heart paperweight brings a soft glow to a desk, with a swirl of gold flecks turning through clear pink glass. At its centre a small spiral gathers the gold, and from there the flecks spread outwards towards the rounded edges, so the pattern changes as the light moves across it. The heart measures 10cm high and 9cm wide and is 3cm deep, a comfortable size to pick up and turn in the hand. The pink is a clear, rosy tint, deeper at the edges and lighter across the smooth, domed top.
On a desk it does the job a paperweight was made for, keeping letters, notes and receipts in place beside an open window or a fan. It sits just as happily on a bedside table, a dressing table or a bookshelf, where the gold catches a lamp in the evening. We like it on a sunny windowsill too, where daylight shines through the pink and picks out every fleck. With no stand or fixings to think about, it moves easily from room to room and suits a home office, a study or a cosy reading corner.
The heart lies flat on its base, with smoothly rounded sides that feel good under the fingers. Glass needs very little looking after: wipe it with a soft damp cloth, then polish it dry with a lint-free cloth to keep the surface clear and bright. Like any glass piece, it is best kept away from knocks against hard surfaces. As a gift it is easy to love, small enough to tuck into a parcel and pretty enough to stay out on show long after the wrapping comes off. Set it beside a favourite pen for a desk with a little more colour.
