3 glass paperweights in the shape of eggs – each a delight. Although many such items are available today, this trio is from the 1980s. Place on your desk or window sill and watch the colours play hide-and-seek with the sun.
1. Capturing the hues of sunrise and midnight, this fabulous paperweight is mesmerising in its display of flamboyant colours. Turn it to watch its tongues of flame change in colour and shape. A lovely gift for a Golden (50th year), Emerald (55th year) or Sapphire (45th year) Anniversary.
2. This is one of the more unusual paperweights to come out of Murano in Venice, Italy. Its silver leaf interior can only be described as moonlight in a bubble. A few tiny slivers of turquoise and cobalt millefiori give it all the colour it needs. Perfect to gift for a Silver Jubilee (25th year).
3. A mercury-like silver twist rises from a base of bright vermillion in this attractive paperweight. Tiny controlled bubbles give it the fizz factor. Orange symbolises vitality. An unusual gift for a Ruby (49th year) or Diamond Jubilee (60th year).
The paperweights are 12cm tall, 25cm in girth and weigh under 1kg each.
While individual pieces are beautiful in their own right, grouping them together makes a stunning centre-piece on a coffee or dinner table, especially with candles and flowers. The 'healthy' option to chocolate Easter eggs – give someone an egg paperweight!
