Blushing Camellia French Crystal Paperweight
A camellia is a flower with excellent timing. It arrives when the garden is still deciding whether to wake, unfolding layer after layer of pink petals around a bright golden center. Drawn from a vintage botanical illustration, this bloom feels lush, romantic, and wonderfully self-possessed, as though it dressed for the occasion before anyone else knew there was one. The richly colored artwork is magnified beneath a luminous dome of genuine French crystal, dramatically heavier and more brilliant than ordinary glass. Handcrafted in our New York studio using the time-honored art of découpage, each paperweight measures 3.5" × 3.5" × .675" and is finished with a softly felted back. A folded card sharing the story of this centuries-old technique accompanies every piece. Keep it close as a little garden that refuses to fade, or send it to someone who deserves flowers long after the occasion has passed. Romantic, radiant, and permanently in bloom. Style No. DPWI-33599
