Designed by Italian-born fashion designer, Pierre Cardin in collaboration with Venini, this exclusive, one-of-a-kind paperweight was originally handmade in 1971 using traditional Murano glassmaking methods. The artisanal process involves blending coloured glass shards together onto transparent crystal to create an eye-catching and entirely unique desk utensil. Please note, this item is a truly original vintage piece with slight imperfections and distinctive characteristics that add to its charm and celebrate its unique history.
