An assortment of decorative glass and resin items comprising various paperweights and specimen blocks. The collection includes a large, irregularly shaped block of translucent resin containing a preserved Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) specimen. A tall, rectangular block of clear material contains internal lampwork-style red trumpet-shaped flowers with green foliage. The glass paperweights include a sphere featuring a white filigree internal structure resembling a jellyfish or sea anemone, set against a base of blue and gold-tone foil inclusions; a clear sphere with a deep purple core accented by large, reflective silver-toned controlled bubbles; a larger sphere with internal spiralling ribbons of blue, green, white, and yellow glass; a paperweight containing a variety of multicoloured internal glass chips in shades of red, orange, and blue; a clear glass orb with an internal frosted or etched figure of a seated hare; and a sphere with a dense, opaque spiral pattern in shades of pink, purple, and white. There is a damaged white adhesive label on the tall floral block, but no maker’s marks or signatures are legible on any of the pieces.
