This unique and stunning Galaxy Orb paperweight is a true work of art. Handmade by the talented artist Scotty Garrelts of Garrelts Glass, 4. Orb with front viewing facet reveals a galaxy of dichroic glass and encased bubbles. Made from hand-blown glass, this contemporary paperweight is an original one-of-a. A-kind piece, signed by the artist, and it was crafted in the United States. The Galaxy Orb is perfect for collectors of art glass, marbles, and it will surely add a touch of elegance and uniqueness to any collection. I love the way glass moves, like it is alive.
