This beautiful furnace sculpted glass paperweight is clear with green swirls. The art glass paperweight with bubbles would be a beautiful addition to any office or room as decor for your end table, coffee table or desk.
DIMENSIONS: 2 3/4" diameter x 2 1/4" tall
TECHNIQUE: This paperweight begins with a tank of molten clear glass at temperatures above 2000ºF. Clear glass is gathered on the end of a blow pipe and rolled in small grains of colored glass called frit. Multiple layers of colors are applied in-between layers of clear glass. The airy bubbles are from a chemical reaction caused by applying baking soda to the hot glass before finally twisting it and encasing it in a top layer of clear.
