This late 19th-century paperweight, crafted from clear, high-transparency lead crystal, is a testament to Bohemian glassmaking tradition. The cool, subtly bluish body is meticulously faceted, with geometric cuts forming a prismatic structure that enhances light refraction and brilliance. Suspended within the crystal, a vibrant glass floral motif created using lampwork technique displays a large blue and pink flower with white and magenta accents, detailed stamens, and green-yellow leaves with naturalistic veining. The surface is polished to a glossy finish that intensifies the depth and clarity of both the faceting and the interior design. Its weight and compact form point to its primary function as a paperweight. The object is preserved in very good condition, exhibiting no chips or cracks—only fine micro-scratches consistent with careful handling over time.This paperweight echoes an era when Bohemian glass was synonymous with refinement and collectability. The jewel-like, prismatic form seems borrowed from a world of letter-writing desks and cabinets of curiosities, when daily utility pieces could rival art objects in sophistication. The dreamlike floral at its core speaks to an age when even the smallest objects represented a dialogue between craftsmanship and the fleeting beauty of nature, forever captured in glass.It can be placed on a desk or console where refracted light from its faceted surface will animate paper and wooden finishes. The piece pairs well with antique writing accessories or vintage glassware, and
