Handmade by Canberra Glassworks, these paperweights were commissioned by the Duldig Studio in 2021. The featured image is turned into a decal and fired onto the rear surface of the glass. The glass itself is made by ladling molten glass into a graphite mould. Each one is hand-made and therefore you may see slight difference in thickness, the occasional small bubble or tool mark.

About the design:
This paper silhouette was created by Slawa Horowitz as a young student at the Art School for Women and Girls in Vienna. Papercut work such as this was a traditional women’s craft of Eastern Europe. The tiny work was given to her daughter Eva by her mother as a special gift.
