AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Rare and hefty sculptural paperweight in forest-green art glass
This unusual desk accessory stands out for an organic, tactile design and strong impact. Made from heavy solid glass, it features an irregular rectangular shape characterized by a wavy, contoured, and almost sculptural upper surface.
The deep forest-green color is enriched inside with fascinating striations, swirls, and dark translucent inclusions that beautifully mimic the natural veining of a gemstone like jade. The back of the piece, however, features a flat, smooth, glossy surface designed to sit perfectly on the desk. A bold piece of office décor and collectible with great character, ideal for embellishing classical writing desks, modern study areas, or 20th-century art glass collections.
• Item: Artistic paperweight / tabletop sculpture
• Material: Heavy solid glass
• Color: Forest green with internal veining and shading
• Condition: Generally excellent condition, structurally intact, with no chips or cracks. It shows only light and normal signs of resting on the flat bottom due to age.
Insured shipping, this shipment cannot be combined with other lots.
