Master glass blowers from Washington craft this ocean-themed glass paperweight from molten glass heated to over 2000°F. The unique details embodying treasures from the sea are formed by rolling the heated glass in colored glass powders, shaping with hand tools and adding dichroic glass pieces to the surface for an iridescent effect. After the features are formed, they are then surrounded by clear and matte molten glass, with swirls made to look like ocean waves. The secret ingredient is ash from the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens. Approx. 5'' diameter.
