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.

"This bird is magical! You feel the life in it..."
The colors in this bird are stunning. As a true bird-lover, this is a lively addition to my collection. It picks up and reflects the surrounding colors in the room. It feels fluid.
