End of Day

This round paperweight is a Limited Production piece that is made in honor of the tradition of "End of Day" paperweights. Historically, glass blowing studios collect the bits and pieces left over from a day of production and use it to create the "End of The Day" paperweight. Each paperweight is truly unique since it will never look exactly the same as the piece from the day before. This paperweight has two flat sides, one to give it a base and one to create a window looking into the paperweight. Since a spherical form of glass magnifies the contents inside, the flat window gives you a smaller and very different perspective of what is going on inside. This paperweight was handmade by artists at the Glass Eye Studio. It is recycled glass and contains ash from the 1980 Mt. St. Helens eruption. Diameter is just over 3 1/8".
