Handblown Glass Apple Paperweight – Soft Pink with Crackle Pattern – 365nm UV

Handblown Glass Apple Paperweight – Soft Pink / Smoke with Crackle Pattern – UV Reactive This elegant handblown glass apple paperweight features a soft smoky blush-pink tone with a subtle internal crackle texture, giving it a luminous, organic appearance. The apple form is accentuated by a pulled clear glass stem, smoothly integrated at the top, and a ground and polished base for stability. Under 365nm UV blacklight, the apple emits a brilliant electric blue glow—a hallmark of cerium-reactive lead crystal glass. Cerium was used in glass production to enhance clarity and prevent discoloration, and is responsible for the vivid blue luminescence seen in this piece.
