Description
This round glass paperweight holds a pink flower within clear glass, its petals opening out in soft layers with slender curled tips that drift down towards the base. A small clear bead sits at the heart of the bloom, and a fine point tapers beneath it like a stem, so the flower seems to float in the middle of the sphere. The glass is clear all the way round, so the flower looks lovely from every side, whether you look down on it or catch it at eye level. It stands 8cm tall and 8cm across, and 7cm from front to back, so it sits neatly in the palm of a hand.
On a desk it does the job a paperweight is made for, keeping letters, notes and loose sheets in place beside an open window or under a fan, and between tasks it gives the eye somewhere pleasant to rest. It is just as much at home away from the desk, on a bedside table, a bookshelf or a dressing table, where the pink lifts a quiet corner and the clear glass keeps it looking light. Set beside books or framed photographs, it adds a small spot of colour without crowding the shelf. It makes a lovely gift for anyone who loves flowers or pretty glass for the home.
The flower sits wholly within the glass, so there is nothing to assemble, wind or fill; it simply rests on its base and stays put. To keep it bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth or wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it straight away, and as with any glass, set it down gently on a steady surface. We like it beside a small vase of fresh pink stems, where the real flowers and the glass one echo each other, and it is an easy gift to wrap.
