This art glass paperweight has a paper label on the bottom identifying it as having been sold through James Alex imports in New Jersey. I believe much of the wares this company handled came from China but I do not know if all did. I also do not know for sure when they operated. I think this paperweight is likely from the 1990's or early 2000's. This is an attractively designed weight with a flower and some controlled bubbles. It does have a line in the surface, toward the bottom. Please check the pictures. This is still a pretty paperweight that displays well.
