DescriptionThis piece is a modernistic, asymmetrical block of clear blue glass with a face of a man carved on one end of the glass so the face can be seen from the front of the glass or through the rest of the glass. The piece is simmilar to the cast paperweights designed by Erik Hoglund for Kosta in 1967.ProvenancePurchased from Muriel Karasik, 3/11/1987
