[JPEG IMAGE]Fire Opal World With Winged Spirit ©
No.BF4: $490
Dichroic and crystal glass paperweight sculpture, 4 x 5½ inches.
Unlike most paperweights, this design is unusual in that it is blown; instead of being solid, the base contains a "balloon" of air! The multiple colors in the Fire Opal world© are caused by light refracted in a manner similar to that found in Nature's precious gem, fire opal. The Winged Spirit; on the other hand, is the reflection of your imagination.
The Fire Opal World With Winged Spirit © was presented to First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, February 10, 1996, by the Buyers Market of American Craft at the Niche Magazine's Award Ceremonies. The paperweight was selected from among 1500 exhibitors to represent American Crafts from the largest wholesale trade show of its type in the world. Order Form.

This paperweight was presented to the Directors of NASA by Marriott Corporation in celebration of the opening of Space Center Houston. Order Form.
