It measures 5” in diameter at its widest point. The piece is in excellent overall condition with minor signs of wear consistent with its age and use. Please message us if you have any questions. Thanks!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted by acclaimed New Orleans glassmaker Mitchell Gaudet at his celebrated Bywater workspace, Studio Inferno, this 21st century studio glass paperweight stands as a masterful blend of historical technique and quirky, modern iconography. The piece is sculpted into a thick, defined heart silhouette featuring a bold central relief of a stylized bowling pin resting within a softly recessed basin. Gaudet achieves the captivating, frosted exterior using his signature Scavo finish, a specialized corrosive surface treatment that mimics the earthy, weathered oxidation seen on ancient Roman glassware freshly unearthed from the soil. Beneath this tactile, matte coating lies a shimmering spectrum of metallic rose gold, warm bronze, dusty mauve, and subtle olive-green iridescence that catches light from every angle. By pairing classic folk motifs with industrial pop culture symbols, the artwork captures the soulful, irreverent spirit of the New Orleans art scene. It functions beautifully as a substantial desk accessory or as an eye-catching focal point on a display shelf, making it an extraordinary addition for collectors of American studio glass, regional Gulf Coast fine craft, or unique contemporary sculpture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e♦️$7.50 flat rate shipping to all of the United States (Combined, international, and freight shipping as well as local pickup available upon request!) \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Smokin' Finds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49371274608795,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/4310\/5179\/files\/B0F9B765-31F5-4103-92D0-BFED2F67BB05.jpg?v=1787665803","url":"https:\/\/www.smokinfinds.com\/products\/mitchell-gaudet-studio-inferno-art-glass-contemporary-style-scavo-heart-bowling-pin-paperweight-21st-century-new-orleans","provider":"Smokin' Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
