I bought this paperweight on Ebay because I liked it, and am now trying to find out where, and by whom, it was made.   It has a faded sticker on the base showing sun rays around a tree, and the words Sigris Natura.   It is large and heavy and has a diameter of approx. 3.25 ins (8 cm) and stands approx. 4 ins (10 cm) tall.   There are large, elongated bubbles inside, each bubble reflecting all the other bubbles in a very attractive way.   They spring from a pinkish, sparkly bed.   The base is flat and smooth.   Any help gratefully received.   KM.

Made in China (unpolished base), bought in Spain or an escaped label. Sigris Natura seems to be a Spanish Importer. Click on the bottle http://www.casapia.com/midietetica/abeto-aceite-esencial-p-3916.html?osCsid=fo65crf8vvqndred64tsh3pmv3

Many thanks - mystery solved - I couldn't understand how a health food supplier also made paperweights - but it is beautiful.   KM.
