    The Winged Phoenix
    presents:

    INCREDIBLY UNUSUAL NUMBERED ART GLASS PAPERWEIGHT
    MOONFLOWER
    Intensely Beautiful Soft Color
    Luxurious Lavender and Outstanding Silvery Bubbles
    Since it is Hand Numbered - it may be a Special Limited Edition Piece
    THIS TREASURE IS A WONDERFUL PIECE OF Color Changing Alexandrite Neodymium ART GLASS!
    I believe this special piece was made (or designed) in 1970 and the color was called AMETHYST
    Photos #3 and #6 show this beauty under a fluorescent light
    In natural light - this piece has shades of lavender - orchid - pale amethyst
    In fluorescent light - color changes magically to light sky blue
    This Rare Paperweight was Designed by Artist Designer COLIN TERRIS (1937-2007).  He was an incredibly talented prolific artist whose amazingly unique inspired creations are loved and collected by museums and collectors all over the world.
    This beauty is a superb example of his extremely beautiful work.  Moonflower was the First in the Abstract Design Category by Colin Terris for Caithness.  It was inspired by Terris to resemble an abstract extraterrestrial floriform.  It has a sublime peaceful presence.
