This piece is part of Glass Eye's planetary/celestial line of paperweights from back in the early 2000's, and I'm not sure why, but these older versions are FAR better than the ones the studio is creating today. This is a nice large paperweight, larger than the planet pieces of course, and so makes a great centerpiece for your planetary collection! It's bright, orange and SPARKLY, nice fiery! The piece is in flawless new condition, and signed 'Glass Eye Studio 2002 Sun'. I left the warning sticker on there because it cracks me up that we're warned not to place The Sun in the sun. Ha ha!
