Wheaton Glass Art Paperweight Vase Signed A. De Palma Silver Aventurine Swirl

Vintage Wheaton Art Glass Bud Vase / Paperweight Signed by Anthony De Palma

This mesmerizing handblown art glass bud vase and paperweight from Wheaton Glass bears the impressed signature A. De Palma on the base, representing the work of noted glass artist Anthony De Palma, whose pieces are admired for their organic shapes and internal luminosity. The vase features a fluid, sculptural form with gentle indentations and a shimmering silver aventurine core peppered with tiny flecks of cobalt blue and green, creating a dynamic interplay of light and texture.

Weighing 2 pounds 1 ounce and measuring approximately 3.5 inches tall and 3.5 inches in diameter, this compact but substantial piece reflects Wheaton’s tradition of skilled craftsmanship and De Palma’s individual artistry. Its versatile form makes it equally striking as a minimalist vase or a standalone display piece.
