A collection of art glass apple paperweights of graduated size, each featuring a bullicante controlled-bubble interior. The clear glass bodies exhibit a subtle greenish-straw tint, containing a regular, radiating grid of suspended air bubbles. The larger examples are finished with applied clear glass stems that are hooked at the tip, set within deep central indentations. The smallest paperweight is topped with a cast bronzed metal stem and leaf, showing a textured, naturalistic finish with veined detail on the foliage. The pieces are of solid, hand-blown construction with flattened bases. The decorative technique involves trapping air between layers of molten glass to create the distinctive bubbled effect.
