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 planet is SO cool, showing two halves of the world, and the white half consisting of a bonus - it is covered with glow glass that charges with any lighting (and especially quickly and strong with black light) that will continue to glow after the light is removed. SO neat! It is suspended inside the clear optical grade glass with a polished window cut in for viewing. The piece is in flawless new condition, and signed 'GES 03 Mercury'.
