Robert Held Heart

Handblown Glass paperweight by Robert Held Art Glass of Vancouver, Canada. This piece began simply by gathering 2000˚ molten glass onto the end of a “blowpipe”. Decoration with colored glass made using minerals such as copper, cobalt or gold were applied using techniques developed as long ago as 2000 B.C. Roberts unique designs are created with these colors as the glass is both mouth blown and hand formed into its final shape. After being gradually annealed, the glass is ground, polished and signed. This finished piece of art is ready to grace your home or office. Treasure and enjoy!
