Paperweights, while functional, have evolved into collectible art forms. Glass paperweights, in particular, gained popularity in the mid-19th century, with French factories like Baccarat and Saint-Louis leading the way in innovative designs and techniques. These weights often featured intricate millefiori patterns, lampwork figures, and encased floral arrangements.

Modern paperweights, like this one, continue the tradition of craftsmanship, often commemorating events or organizations. The use of clear glass and etched designs allows for a clean and contemporary aesthetic, while still serving the practical purpose of holding down papers.
