Bat / Chauve-Souris / Fledermaus

Original text of Saint-Louis:
In many cultures, the bat, this small winged mammal that lives in the dark, symbolizes luck, longevity and happiness.

The bat in this paperweight has been crafted using the blowtorch technique. The body is made from enameled amber crystal, while the wings are woven in black crystal. The precision of the detail gives a realistic appearance and an impression of flight. The bat is flying over a nebula at night. The enamel background is tinted by the use of gas, a technique employed by the paperweight workshop for the first time. The paperweight is encased in clear crystal then, covered in a triple overlay in flannel grey, white enamel and red crystal. A pontil cut allows the flying bat to the observed from several different angles.
