Murano Style Art Glass Paperweight with Floral Lampwork and Spatter Ground

This is a spherical art glass paperweight featuring a complex internally decorated design. The piece showcases a lush garden motif created via lampworking techniques. It features three distinct primary flowers: a red and white striped tulip-like bloom at the top, a vibrant blue flower with a yellow and red eye to the right, and a bright yellow blossom toward the bottom left. Adding a whimsical touch, a small dark lampwork creature, possibly a beetle or turtle, is positioned on the left side with small turquoise accents. The floral elements are set against a dense 'frit' or spatter ground consisting of multicolored shards in shades of green, white, yellow, and orange, which sit beneath a thick layer of clear crown glass. The craftsmanship displays classic mid-to-late 20th-century glassblowing techniques typical of the Murano or Bohemia regions. The surface appears polished and smooth with no significant chips or deep scratches visible from the top view, suggesting the item has been well-maintained. Light reflections on the dome indicate a high-gloss finish. The internal arrangement of the 'garden' shows a high level of detail, with delicate green stems and leaves interspersed among the blossoms, creating a three-dimensional depth effect within the solid glass sphere.
