No cracks, chips or flea-bites but I felt/found some small scratches on the backside of the weight in the blue area… And one larger next to the post to the right side of the far right bird… Refer to last 2 photos. I have reduced the price accordingly… There’s another one currently listed for more than a hundred dollars more and I’m pretty confident these scratches could be polished out by a professional.

Orient & Flume Crystal Cased Strawberries & Blossom Paperweight Seaira 1984 LE

Orient & Flume 1984 Crystal Cased limited edition Strawberries and Blossom. Paperweight etch-signed on its base by Ed Seaira with original Orient and Flume Chico, California Paper Identifying Label. This paperweight was from a popular limited edition series and is #300/500. I show it to compare the two weights and the two years of production in the last photo of this listing. Perfect as a gift for a naturalist or garden lover! Or even a winter person looking forward to spring. The design is encased in clear crystal, a new technique to O & F in the early 1980s. O&F glass is uniquely clear and shimmering. The strawberries are luscious looking as the closeup photos show. The cushion base is of a shimmering deep blue that sparkles when caught in the light. MOST UNUSUAL for this paperweight is its history. Ed Seaira made a Strawberries and Blossom paperweight in 1983 and then went on to make a similar limited edition series in 1984 that copied the design. The final photo in this listing shows the two weights together side by side. This limited edition weight available in this listing is from a production of 500. It is unclear however, how many were actually made before the series was closed. This listing is for this 1984 paperweight only. It has the unique O & F signature date cane of 1984. Etched on the base are Orient & Flume E. Seaira’s name is his specific etched icon denoting that this weight was handmade by him. This weight measures approximately 2 and 1/2+ inches across. The overall condition of this paperweight is excellent, truly a prize to add to someones paperweight collection.

A beautiful and rare find!!! This Orient & Flume paperweight has the vibrant colors of blue / black / orange and green! Signed on the bottom Orient & Flume by Seaira and dated 1983 – this weight is in great condition with no cracks, dings or damage noted. Sits nice and flat and again, the colors and design are amazing… Pictures just don’t do it justice. Royal blue is the main color so that the other colors just pop! Measures approx 3 inches in diameter and the light just sparkles off of it. Just a gorgeous piece of artwork. Please review all picture before purchasing or sending any questions.
