Within the crystal-clear glass sphere, a richly textured cobalt-blue formation rises beneath a suspended, teardrop-shaped funnel of shimmering dichroic color.

An expansive, swirling canopy of iridescence stretches across the interior, revealing brilliant flashes of violet, magenta, gold, turquoise, and amber as the viewing angle changes.

The effect is almost celestial, resembling a miniature galaxy suspended in glass. When illuminated, the intricate internal formations become even more pronounced, creating a spectacular display of color, light, and dimension.

Handcrafted and individually signed Eickholt 1987 on the polished underside, this distinctive piece reflects the artistry and experimental glass techniques of Robert Eickholt's late-20th-century studio work.

Accompanying the paperweight is a vintage illuminated wooden display base manufactured by John P. Scott Woodworking of Richmond, Virginia.

 The black square base features an integrated light, electrical cord, and inline switch. Its warm illumination enhances the glass's remarkable internal details and transforms the sculpture into a captivating decorative accent.

A wonderful statement piece for collectors of Robert Eickholt glass, dichroic paperweights, American studio art, and unusual vintage treasures.
