Lot 397: A Mid-20th Century Art Glass Paperweight with Controlled Bubbles and Foil Inclusions

A spherical art glass paperweight crafted from clear glass with a subtle greenish tint. The internal design features a large central teardrop-shaped controlled bubble, which is surrounded by four radial segments of crushed silver-coloured foil and associated smaller bubbles. The piece is hand-blown and finished with a ground and polished concave base. There are no visible maker’s marks, signatures, or labels present on the item. The style and construction are characteristic of mid-century decorative glass production.
