Art Glass Paperweight with Blue and White Internal Design

This is a spherical glass paperweight, designed to be held and viewed. Its physical characteristics include a clear, solid glass body encasing a vibrant internal design. The primary colors in the internal motif are distinct shades of blue and white. The design appears to be an intricate swirling pattern, possibly depicting a stylized floral or abstract explosion (millefiori-like effect), with a central point from which the white and blue 'petals' or streaks emanate and spread outwards. The base of the internal design seems to converge towards a darker, possibly twisted or spiraled blue mass, adding depth to the piece. The surface of the glass appears smooth and polished, typical of paperweights, and shows no immediate visible condition issues such as major chips, cracks, or significant scuffing, though minor surface wear is common with age and handling. The size is evident in the image, fitting comfortably within a person's palm, suggesting a diameter of approximately 2.5 to 3.5 inches. There are no discernible manufacturer's marks, signatures, or stamps visible from the provided image, which is common for many glass paperweights unless they are from renowned producers. The style suggests it could be a contemporary art glass piece, possibly manufactured from the mid-20th century onwards, as this type of intricate glasswork gained popularity. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with the internal design well-formed and contained within the clear glass without apparent flaws or trapped bubbles.
