For your consideration is a lovely, vintage, hand blown, ORIENT AND FLUME paperweight. The background is a deep iridescent aqua blue. 6 red hearts are hanging from deep purple and white vines. The piece is signed Orient and Flume, 71140 A 1996. It is almost 3 inches wide and 2 1/4 inches high. In some lights there is an iridescent hue to the hearts too. It is in great condition without chips or cracks. There is one spot on the top where there is a v shaped discrepancy. Don’t know if it is a scratch or just whether it was made that way but, I need to point it out to be accurate in my description. Please study photo # 4. It comes in the original Orient and Flume box, has a blue felt pouch and a pamphlet describing the piece. This paperweight would make a fabulous addition to your collection or give it as a special gift. I have a couple of similar weights listed in my store.
