I'm pretty sure the paperweight is a Chinese modern one, the butterfly is very typical.

Hi Lisa,

As alexander has said, the butterfly is very typical of fairly modern Chinese work. In fact, I would say that butterflies like that (with very solid looking wings) are only found in Chinese work.

In your first post you said, "... these were my mothers ...". Does that mean you have other paperweights for Id? If so, please start a new message for each one - even if they are all quite similar.
