EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning paperweight created by the renowned New England Glass Company in 19th century New York City. The intricate craftsmanship and exquisite design of this artifact truly embody the rich heritage of American applied arts during that era. The circular shape of the paperweight, expertly blown from blue glass, immediately draws attention to its botanical motif. Delicate floral designs, featuring an array of flowered patterns known as millefiori, adorn its surface with remarkable precision and artistry. This fusion of science and art creates a mesmerizing visual experience for any observer. As we delve into the history behind this piece, it becomes evident that it represents more than just decorative beauty. It serves as a testament to the thriving craft industry in 19th century America and reflects the cultural significance placed on handmade artifacts during that time. Displayed within an esteemed art gallery such as the Art Institute Chicago, this paperweight stands as a symbol of historical preservation and appreciation for traditional craftsmanship. Its presence evokes nostalgia for a bygone era while also inspiring contemporary artists to explore new possibilities within their own work. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the ingenuity and skill employed by artisans at New England Glass Company.
