Lava Glass

Winter Tree Paperweight

$895

Winter Tree Paperweight. These paperweights are inspired by the stunted, gnarly mountain beech trees, Tauwhai Rauriki, which are found in the Tongariro National Park, and become covered in snow during the winter months.  

An original piece of glass art. Excellently suited as a paperweight, collector’s item or interior design accent. Handcrafted by award-winning glass artist Lynden Over in his Lava Glass Studio in Taupo, New Zealand. Each piece is signed and dated by the artist.

Small: H 140 mm
Large: H 170 mm


These paperweights are built up in layers starting from the hillock on which the trees stand, up through the branches to the canopy. Finally, the whole sculpture is encased in a thick layer of clear glass. The sculpture is worked at between 800 and 1000 degrees Celsius on the end of a steel rod. The tree weight is then cooled slowly in a kiln for about two weeks.

We will select a piece in the same size but there will be pattern variations to the glass you receive. If you'd like a photo of the exact piece you will receive, please use our contact form or send an email to admin@lavaglass.nz.
