Clear glass encloses a double pink poinsettia composed of ten smooth pointed petals with a cane in the center of the flower. The whole design rests on a blue and white jasper ground. The central cane is white and blue. Two emerald green leaves on a green stem complete this lovely design. 

This particular paperweight was probably executed by Nicholas Lutz, who between 1869-88, was responsible for a great number of Boston and Sandwich Glass Company flower paperweights.

Jasper is a type of fine-grained ground composed of two or more colors. The jasper used by Boston and Sandwich Glass Company was generally much finer in texture than others.

The paperweight measures~ 2 7/8" wide x 1 7/8" tall.

In very good original condition with several light scratches and minor marks along the top.
