This gorgeous piece cannot be appreciated with photos though I tried to capture the egg from different angles in different light. Ocean Reef Paperweight Egg. Measures approximately 4 1/2″ tall and 2 1/2″ in diameter. The artist’s paperweights evoke a tapestry of living organisms from an ocean reef, maybe from another time and place. He works to evoke the colors and rhythms of aquatic life. Details are magnified by a clear glass encasement. These paperweights are full of unique things and places. They can be cleaned using a warm damp cloth. They should be left in sunlight to be truly appreciated. A small wafer of glass bearing a colored pattern. Formed by bundling and fusing colored glass rods together and then pulling the hot glass to a very small diameter. When cut into wafers, each piece bears the original pattern in miniature. The egg is signed Michael Egan VT 2009. The item “Vermont Blown Glass Egg Shaped Michael Egan Signed Art Glass Paperweight 2009″ is in sale since Sunday, March 1, 2020.
