9lb Impressive Suspended Bubble Glass Orb
This substantial hand-blown clear glass orb features a mesmerizing array of suspended bubbles, meticulously arranged in concentric layers. The internal pattern creates captivating optical effects as light refracts through the sphere. The piece is unsigned but showcases exceptional craftsmanship, with a polished base indicative of studio glass techniques from the mid-20th century. At nearly 10 pounds, this paperweight serves as both a functional desk accessory and a striking decorative object. Its design bears resemblance to Murano's bullicante style and Scandinavian glass artistry, though no definitive attribution can be made.

In excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or visible damage. The polished base is clean and stable. Please refer to photos for scale (soup can shown for reference).
Dimensions:
Approximately 6 inches tall × 6.5 inches in diameter
Weight: 9 lb 10 oz
