Vintage Konst Glass Red Apple Paperweight. Measures about 3.25" in height. Made in Sweden. Good condition. Has very small scrapes and the stem appears to be chipped at the top. It feels rough.
Add a vibrant pop of Scandinavian artistry to your workspace with this vintage Konst Glass red apple paperweight. Handcrafted in Sweden, a nation world-renowned for its centuries-old glassblowing heritage, this piece is a beautiful example of the "fruit" series that became a hallmark of Swedish mid-century and late-century glass design. Measuring approximately 3.25 inches in height, the apple is crafted from heavy, high-quality lead glass with a rich, ruby-red core encased in a brilliant clear layer. The Swedish glass tradition, pioneered by legendary houses like Orrefors and Kosta Boda, is reflected here in the smooth, organic curves and the exceptional clarity of the material, which creates a stunning optical effect when placed in direct sunlight.
This paperweight is in good vintage condition, possessing the honest character of a well-used office treasure. While the main body of the apple remains smooth and vibrant, there are very small surface scrapes consistent with age, and the clear glass stem at the top features a small chip that feels rough to the touch. For the modern decorator, these minor imperfections do not detract from its visual impact; it serves as a perfect accent for a "dark academia" study or as a bright, sculptural element in a "modern farmhouse" kitchen windowsill. Whether used to secure documents on a mahogany desk or styled as part of a glass fruit collection in a mid-century hutch, this Konst Glass apple brings a touch of Nordic craftsmanship and timeless color to any environment.
This item is vintage, approximately 40 years old.
