Black Glass Paperweight ‘Firefly’ by Remigijus Kriukas

This black glass paperweight can be described as stunning steel-coloured cubes that stand up on one corner. Being stood on its edge makes the piece and gives a clear view of the central ‘firefly’ design.

Its particular style makes an excellent gift for him with its steel finish and urban good looks.

Whether sitting on a study desk or gleaming from a bookshelf, this item will enchant and bewitch the eye and continue to delight as you get closer still.

To make a piece like this involves a secret process only known to the glass artist himself. We have never seen anything like this before and we are expecting them to be exceptionally popular.

The sensational colouration is set off perfectly by the bubbles and the cuboid casing.

This object tricks you with its magnification. From one side you see the dainty image and from another, the whole view is engorged with the metallic hues of the central bubble.

Each black glass paperweight is made up of painstakingly blowing layer after layer. First with a central metallic coloured core. Then enshrined in a perfectly even distribution of bubbles. This, in turn, is enveloped in another layer of brilliant clear crystal glass before the final ‘steel’ casing is added.

Once complete, the glass is polished to an amazing shine and is then personally signed by the artist.

N.B. The images shown are an example of the series. Each piece is hand-blown and therefore there will be small variations in colour and pattern. Each one is unique and signed by the artist.
