Forest Tree Paperweight

. The inspiration for this tree paperweight comes from Lynden’s love of the magnificent giants of the New Zealand forest. “Trees are one of the solutions to climate change so I love to use them in my art.”

An original piece of glass art. Excellently suited as a paperweight, collector’s item or interior design accent. Handcrafted by award-winning glass artist Lynden Over in his Lava Glass Studio in Taupo, New Zealand. Each piece is signed and dated by the artist.

H 140 mm x W 80 mm x D 80 mm

These paperweights are built up in layers starting from the hillock on which the trees stand, up through the branches to the canopy. Finally, the whole sculpture is encased in a thick layer of clear glass. The sculpture is worked at between 800 and 1000 degrees Celsius on the end of a steel rod. The tree weight is then cooled slowly in a kiln for about two weeks.

We will select a piece in the same size but there will be pattern variations to the glass you receive. If you'd like a photo of the exact piece you will receive, please use our contact form or send an email to sales@lavaglass.nz.
