This beautiful vintage glass paperweight features a striking Blue Jay perched on an oak branch adorned with golden-hued leaves and acorns. The glass has a stunning iridescent "carnival" finish, giving it a shimmering, pearl-like luster that shifts colors in the light.

​The artwork appears to be hand-painted or professionally enameled with fine detail, showcasing the bird's distinct blue and black markings. The back is smooth and flat, typical of a cabochon-style paperweight or a large decorative button used in high-end vanity sets.

​Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The iridescent finish remains vibrant, and the painted details are crisp. No visible chips or cracks.

​Age: Circa 1970s–1980s.

•Decorative Cabochon: This is the most technically accurate term for a piece that is flat on one side and domed on the other.

•​Vanity / Trinket Accessory: These were often sold as part of a set to sit on a lady's dressing table, used more for decoration than for holding down a stack of mail.

•​Large Intaglio or Medallion: Because the design is "pressed" or painted into/onto the glass, some collectors refer to these as glass medallions.

•​Curio Display Piece: Many buyers look for these specifically to put in "shadow boxes" or printers' drawers, where a heavy paperweight wouldn't fit.
