Additional Information: A beautifully handcrafted American art glass piece from the Union Glass Company of Somerville, Massachusetts. A central dedication motif reading LISSIE F.A. PHILBRICK 1923 is framed by a garland of complex floral canes and is crowned by a singular lampwork blossom. This commemorative-style paperweight features a custom floral design created with delicate lampwork techniques, incorporating individually formed glass flowers and decorative elements encased within a clear glass dome. Union Glass Company paperweights from this period are recognized by collectors for their lampwork floral motifs, custom designs, and commemorative inscriptions or dates, with production continuing until the factory closed in 1927.
