Offered for sale is an original hand-blown studio art glass paperweight featuring an encased jellyfish form, created at Phoenix Studios in Harmony, California and signed and dated 1999 by glass artist Ken Petersen.

This piece is executed in a teardrop shape and displays a suspended jellyfish-like figure with flowing blue tentacles, controlled bubbles, and layered aqua tones that create exceptional depth and movement. The interior composition is encased in thick, over two pound, high-quality clear glass, characteristic of late-20th-century California studio art glass.

The underside retains its original Phoenix Studios Harmony, CA label, and the glass is artist-signed and dated, confirming studio origin and period. Phoenix Studios is known for producing small-batch, individually crafted works rather than mass-produced items, and pieces of this size and figural complexity are increasingly difficult to find.

While categorized as a paperweight, this piece also functions beautifully as a studio art glass sculpture or display object. At approximately 5 inches tall and over 2 pounds, it is larger than most standard paperweights and presents with strong visual presence.

Comparable signed examples from this studio are scarce, and the figural jellyfish motif makes this a particularly desirable piece for collectors of American studio glass, California Coast art glass, and marine-themed works.
