This is a beautiful vintage studio art glass paperweight hand-blown by noted American glass artist Harry Boyer, founder of Boyer Glassworks in Harbor Springs, Michigan.

The piece features an intricate, tightly twisted ribbon swirl core showcasing a vibrant palette of royal blue, forest green, crimson red, and deep purple ribbons. Encircling the base of the colorful core is a series of intentionally placed, teardrop-shaped controlled air bubbles that reflect the light beautifully. The glass sphere is perfectly clear and highly polished, offering excellent magnification of the inner vortex design from all angles.

The flat, ground base features a polished pontil and bears the authentic, hand-etched script signature "Boyer" along the bottom edge. It does not feature a production year, which is typical for many of his classic studio runs.

Perfect for seasoned paperweight collectors, lovers of American studio glass, or as a striking desk accessory.
