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.

"Gorgeous!"
I have a very neutral living room and rely on accent pieces for pops of color. This vase is one of the highlights of the room! The colors are gorgeous and its a very heavy, substantial piece of glass. I love it!

"Perfect gift"
This was purchased as a thank you to the hosts of my daughters engagement party. It is breathtaking in person and was very happily received. The hostess immediately placed it on a display cabinet and upon a subsequent visit, it was still there so we know they truly loved it. This piece is class all the way.

"Beautiful vase"
Very pleased with this unusual and bright vase. Using it strictly as a display piece to coordinate with wall art and brighten a particular area. The vase opening is small so only a few stems could fit. It s also a solid, heavy piece.
