Brazilian White and Black Hand Blown Glass Paperweight, "Spherical Phoenicia"
Brazil's Seguso Family creates a hypnotic effect with white and black arches in the design of this spherical paperweight. Experts in the legendary art of blown glass, they masterfully craft this paperweight by blowing down steel pipettes while creating the figurine's shape by hand.
The presence of air bubbles accentuates the nature of the traditional hand blown crafting process, making each piece unique.
