Open Spear Thistle Paperweight - Hafod Grange

Open Spear Thistle Paperweight - Hafod Grange

Almost graphic in its fine lines and unique color gradients. In the Open Spear Thistle Paperweight from Hafod Grange, a real spear thistle is carefully preserved in clear acrylic. The open flower reveals a beautiful network of fine purple branches, with the greenish base of the plant underneath. A botanical paperweight where you can examine the structure of the thistle up close.

The transparent acrylic acts almost like a magnifying glass. From every angle, you discover different details, and the incidence of light subtly changes the character of the purple, pink, and green hues. Beautiful as a paperweight on a desk, but perhaps even more interesting as a small botanical art object among books, ceramics, and other special finds.

A thistle in full bloom

It is precisely the open form that makes this spear thistle so special. The flower fills a large part of the transparent sphere and forms an almost abstract play of lines. It is a beautiful example of how Hafod Grange can transform an everyday plant into something you suddenly look at much longer.

The Open Spear Thistle Paperweight is available in two sizes: small with a diameter of 65 mm and large with a diameter of 85 mm. Display a single piece on its own or combine different sizes and flowers to create a small botanical collection.

Because Hafod Grange works with real flowers and plants, the shape, color, and placement vary per item. No two paperweights are therefore exactly the same.
