This vintage art glass paperweight features an etched design with the quote "I Cannot Live Without Books" attributed to Thomas Jefferson. The oval , glossy finish paperweight is hand blown and studio crafted in the mid 20th century in the United States. It is made of clear glass with a star pattern.

Measured 4x3 inches


The paperweight is a mid-century modern style piece that would make a great addition to any collection of decorative pottery and glassware. It is in excellent condition and would make a wonderful gift for any book lover or collector.
