Does Anyone Know If This Is A Glass Ornament Or A Glass Paperweight?

[jickmagger]

My uncle specifically wants a glass paperweight, but I think he would love this. Yest it is described as a glass ornament. Which one is it??? It is the one in the middle on this page - http://www.bohaglass.co.uk/

That isn't a paperweight.

[dizmouk2009]

That is going to end up on the floor if under stress from 'stress folded paper/card'.

They do look a bit delicate for to be paperweights, IMO.
As dust collectors though, they look very nice!

Woohoo hold on a minute, it weighs 2kg. Sheesh kebab. It might not be a paperweight but it will do the job :)

It also features in the paperweight section of the site and I'm sure your Uncle would love to receive it as a gift.

for to be? to be.

Jickmagger: you do realise the size of this beast? 13 x 13 x 20 cm that is a very large piece to use a paperweight.

[tamborine]

its an ornament. There are gorgeous glass p-weights on ebay

I tried to find the size details but can't find them. It's very beautiful and very expensive. If he specifically wants a paperweight then he might specifically want the standard ball type which are easy to find.

[dizmouk2009]

To conclude. It will function perfectly as a paperweight. Very pricy piece of work. I wish I was your mother or fathers brother - nice gift.

I didn't see that it weighed more than 4lbs so it sounds like it's more than just a paperweight

[dizmouk2009]

Prudie: I made the same mistake but if you scroll down they are on there :P

Not my cup of tea but I wouldn't think it is a paperweight, too large, though it could always be used for that. I know some folk who could use tennis nets as bras for a comparison........

[Frank97]

2kg then, I stand corrected, seems it is a paperweight.

[Prudie]

That's 2 bags of sugar, would hold down a hell of a lot of paper!

They are lovely Prudie. I have a lovely lion made by these people, it's a little bit special

Mother of Hades! They're expensive.

I'd still rather have my stone from a beach that cost me nowt :-)
