For your consideration is an intricate, Josh Simpson, art glass paperweight. A greyish colored satellite is hovering above the planet. The piece measures 3 inches in diameter and stands just a little over 2 3/4 inches tall. Multi colored patches and shapes appear on the surface that look like large anemones and landforms. Some sort of “force” seems to be pulling them to the right. One section, see photos 1, 7, and 8, has some kind of communications trail. Multi sized bubbles add to the drama of this piece. A few patches of sparkling iridescence can also be seen. This paperweight is from Simpson’s “inhabited planet” series. The piece is in good condition without cracks, scratches or chips. The flat bottom reads: Simpson, 4.106.8. Its a fabulous planet and would be a wonderful addition to your signed art glass collection. 3 small acrylic pads have been applied to the base of the paperweight to retard scratching of surfaces. Several can fit in a flat rate box. There are 2 mailing options. I list new things almost daily and have placed many of my items on SALE.
