I am sure I have seen these in Ikea, both in clear, blue, brown and green.

Looks very similar to the Ikea ones - only thing against is the apparently controlled placement of the bubbles,
the one's I've seen here at Ikea seem more random.

Not only is the placement controlled but each bubble is very round and it's 'cleaner' looking than the Ikea weights.
I collect Scottish and Italian paperweights and anything else that strikes my fancy.

The three rings are not well lined up, so presumably three separate prickers were used. Bubble counting might clarify the difference with IKEA ones, or it could be chance that this one turned out better.
