Object of the Day: Veiled Planet

Masters of capturing both the terrestrial and the heavenly in their beautiful art glass, the glass-makers at California’s Correia Studios, often use ethereal imagery in their line of paperweights.  This large weight called, “Veiled Planet” reminds us of Saturn—with a twist.  A watery planet veined with icy lands is engulfed in a glittering atmospheric layer which itself is embraced by a delicate cobalt blue ring.  The workmanship is exceptional and shows the cleverness of Correia Studios and their ability to make dreams a glittering reality.
