Mid-Century Controlled Bubble Glass Paperweight with Pink Intaglio Flower

This decorative glass paperweight features a distinctive teardrop or pointed ovoid shape, crafted from heavy, clear art glass. Inside the solid glass casing is a central decorative element depicting a stylized pink lupine or sprig-like flower with several green base leaves. The internal floral design appears to be created using a controlled bubble or intaglio technique, where the interior is hollowed or shaped and then colored to create a three-dimensional effect. The piece is characterized by its sharp, angular base facets which allow it to stand upright, tapering to a rounded point at the top. The glass possesses a slight yellowish tint or patina, common in vintage lead-based or soda-lime glass, suggesting an age ranging from the 1960s to early 1980s. The clarity of the glass is generally good, though there are minor surface abrasions and internal reflections consistent with age and previous display. No visible maker's marks or signatures are apparent in the image, but the style is reminiscent of studio glass or mid-century giftware produced in Europe or North America. The craftsmanship shows careful attention to the symmetry of the internal floral sculpture and the polish of the exterior facets.
