Pair of 3D Laser-Etched Crystal Glass Paperweights

This item consists of two rectangular clear crystal glass paperweights featuring intricate 3D internal laser etching. The larger block on the left depicts a pack of wolves standing under a full moon amidst evergreen trees and birds. The slightly smaller block on the right illustrates a lone wolf howling from a rocky surface toward a setting or rising sun with birds in flight. Both pieces are crafted from optical-grade glass or leaded crystal, characterized by sharp beveled edges and high transparency. The internal images are created using sub-surface laser engraving (SSLE), a technique that focuses a laser beam inside the glass to create micro-fissures without damaging the exterior surface. Physically, the blocks appear to be in good condition with no major chips visible, though there is a slight scuff or chip at the top right corner of the right-hand block. The style is typical of giftware and souvenir items from the late 20th century to the early 21st century. The craftsmanship is standard for mass-produced decorative items, though the quality of the internal detail provides a pleasant three-dimensional depth when viewed from different angles.
