We’ve previously looked at crystal paperweights by California’s celebrated glassmakers, Lundberg Studios. Aside from their marine-themed, floral and abstract designs in everything from paperweights to vases, Lundberg Studios’ most enduring design is their famous World Weight. Available in a variety of sizes, the Earth has been carefully recreated in topographic detail in this series of crystal paperweights. We see our planet in brilliant blues, rich browns and greens veiled by a layer of clouds and atmosphere. At once both monumental and tranquil, the World Weight reminds us of our relative insignificance in the universe as well as the necessity to try to make a difference in our world culture.
