3” No chips or cracks. Paperweights have a long history, evolving from functional desk accessories to intricate art objects. The art glass movement of the mid-20th century saw a resurgence in their popularity, with many studios and artists creating unique, handcrafted pieces. These often featured complex internal designs, including millefiori, lampwork, and controlled bubble techniques.

Wheaton Arts, based in Millville, New Jersey, is renowned for its glassmaking heritage, particularly its historical reproductions and contemporary art glass. Their paperweights, often featuring floral motifs or historical figures, are highly sought after by collectors.
