Winter Storm Glass Paperweight

Master glass blowers craft our winter storm paperweight from molten glass heated to over 2000° F. Unique details, representative of each skyward wonder, are formed by rolling the heated glass in colored glass powders, shaping with hand tools and adding gold leaf and dichroic glass pieces to the surface for an iridescent effect. After the features are formed, they are then surrounded by clear and matte molten glass, shaped into a rounded form and polished to a smooth finish. Ash from the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens serves as the secret ingredient. Each paperweight measures approximately 3 inches in diameter. Handcrafted for Uno Alla Volta, from the hearts and hands of the artisans.
